Research Interests: In most cases, it is a good idea to pursue research in the areas that one knows best. If one is from Saudi Arabia, for example, and one is pursuing a PHD in Nursing, it would be generally advisable to describe an interest in the structures of health care organizations--and nursing in particular--in Saudi Arabia. If one is a member of an ethnic minority group and raised in the inner city in America, to cite just one another example, an interest in special public health issues faced by minority groups in the inner city might be seen as an especially appropriate choice by an Admissions Committee. It is almost always advisable to have well defined research interests that dovetail with your realities and background, in Nursing as in other areas.

Long Term Objectives: What is most important, and the area in which applicants are often the weakest, is in their professional dreams in Nursing, particularly your long term plans. Tell me everything that you can think of about your professional dreams and aspirations, especially in the long term. Even if you think that it is not all that likely that you could really achieve what you would most like to do—your ideal job, for example, or starting your own NGO—tell me about it! It would be a great honor to work with you at the realization of your professional aspirations to the fullest extent possible. Long term plans that are well articulated often result in an acceptance letter.

Please do not worry about furnishing me with any kind of finished text! Neither grammar or spelling matter. Just write as much as you can off the top of your head in direct response to the question asked (after a little reflection)! If you send me a CV or resume as an email attachment to drrobertedinger@gmail.com, you do not need to duplicate this information on the Interview Form. If you provide me with sufficient information, as soon as I have time, I will write a model first paragraph on your behalf at no charge or obligation.

I only do my best, taking the time to reflect on your story. I appreciate that you trust me to do a good job finishing your letter and I trust you as well to recommend me to your friends and colleagues if you are very pleased with your statement.

I am not a big business with employees like most of my competitors. You deal directly with me. I answer all of your questions and I am solely responsible for producing a letter of intent that you are very pleased with.

I have been drafting letters of intent on behalf of nurses now for the past 20 years. Writing them is not always fun, and the older I get the more mental and emotional energy it takes for me to do a good job. This is one of the reasons why I have developed a priority focus on nurses, writing more letters of intent in this area than any other, because I admire the dedication of nurses, their orientation of service and giving. Nurses are generally among the finest people on the planet, on human and emotional levels, because of their ethic of service. Thus, when I help a nurse succeed, I am inspired by her/his story.

Contribution to Society: This is generally my central focus for nursing statements, the ways in which you will be able to benefit your communities--local, national, and global--in the future, especially for the long term. If you are given the privilege of studying towards an advanced degree, what kind of nursing professional do you most want to become? This is especially with respect to the most vulnerable among us, often referred to as the 'underserved' You need to be as specific as possible and think like a social scientist as well as a social worker about the people that you most want to help, in terms of social class and ethnicity, as well as other socioeconomic and geographical factors.
