About
Hello!
I have worked in healthcare since I was 18 years old in a variety of settings including long-term care (assisted living, nursing home, memory care, and rehabilitation centers), hospital (medical-surgical ambulatory care center), and clinics (vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and pulmonary).
I realized early on that the more education, certifications, and qualifications I obtain, the more help and assistance I will be able to provide. I am currently enrolled in a full-time registered nursing program and working full-time in order to fund my education expenses while also continuing to independently support myself as well. Working and going to school both full-time has it's challenges which is why I am actively pursuing scholarship options available.
If awarded scholarship assistance, it would relieve a significant financial burden and allow me the opportunity to ideally shift my focus to make my education a top priority in order to become the proficient, intelligent, critical-thinking, perceptive, and lifelong learning nurse that I strive to be.
Thank you for your consideration,
Guinevere Phillips

Goals and interests
- Career goal
Upon completion of the nursing program, I hope to start my registered nursing career in an acute-care setting such as the intensive care unit, progressive care unit, or emergency department. Acute-care settings will provide me the opportunity to see, and work with, patients with the widest array of different medical conditions and ability to provide vast medical treatments and care.
- Graduate school interests
As mentioned earlier, after completing the registered nursing program that I am currently enrolled in, I hope to gain registered nursing experience in the acute care setting. My goal is to enroll in a baccalaureate of nursing program within 1-2 years of working as a registered nurse.
- Outside the classroom
In my free time, I enjoy going on road trips, doing crafts, camping, looking at antiques, and spending time with family and friends.
