Summary

One day I will be a Pediatric Oncology RN. I have had this goal most of my life and I am looking to start school as soon as possible to set things in motion. I am applying to get my nursing diploma towards pediatric oncology, but require the financial assistance this scholarship would provide. In ten years my goal is to be an RN at Monument Health to assist children during the difficulties they would face during treatment and gain the expertise I would need to perfect my practice. Eventually I hope to open my own clinic in around 20 years, where i can provide well rounded services that takes care of patients in all aspects during time of need in tandem to Monument.
