SOP for Diploma
of Nursing

As per my academic qualification, I completed my School Leaving Certificate (SLC) in 2016 with a GPA of *** from the school name. After that, I completed my Higher Secondary Education from institution name with a GPA of *** in 2018. Since I had always dreamed of acquiring an international degree, I started to take PTE classes and gave an exam on 5 October 2018 and scored 74 as an overall band score with 71 in Listening, 81 in Reading, 79 in Speaking and 68 in Writing.

Choosing an educational destination to continue my higher education was not easy. I did intense research regarding popular destinations for abroad studies and I found countless reasons for choosing Australia for my further study.

Firstly, Australia actually has some of the best colleges and universities in the world. 8 out of 100 top universities in the world are in Australia. Likewise, 5 out of the 30 best cities in the world are in Australia. With more than one thousand universities, training colleges, English language institutions and schools, international students can choose from over 25,000 courses. No wonder, Australia is currently the third most popular destination for international students in the English-speaking world. The Australian Government regulates the education system in order to maintain a high standard of education associated with the country.

Many international and local students are succeeding in their careers by studying in Australia as there is a wide range of courses with a top-class quality of education for both international and local students. All the multi-cultural backgrounds of students, great quality of education and governmental and institutional support for international students are some of the great aspects that have made Australia a more attractive destination for students all over the world. Australia is an English speaking country and has a safe and friendly society in which students can learn and travel freely. It is one of the best places in the world to study and has a strong international reputation for Higher Education.

Australia’s standard of living is amongst the highest in the world. The crime rate is very low and living expenses and tuition costs are considerably lower in Australia than they are in the USA, UK and Canada. To study in the USA, students need to sit for competitive exams like SAT or ACT which takes a lot of time. In the UK the currency value is really high. The Australian currency is a lot more economical for international students. There is no Tuition Protection Scheme in the USA and UK and fees are higher than Australia which makes us feel insecure. When it comes to feeling safe and secured the USA is not a very reliable country as we used to hear about crime issues every day. Also, it takes 4 years to complete a bachelor’s degree in the USA where I can complete just in 3 years from Australia. There are no PSW facilities like Australia in most of the other countries. The climatic condition of Canada is very cold compared to Nepal which makes it harder for Nepalese to reside there. Talking about other Asian countries like Japan, China and European countries like Germany, France, Italy language is the key. So I would have to invest a lot of time to learn a foreign language which would take a lot of time.

The Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) framework monitors and protects the rights of overseas students studying in Australia including a right to information on courses, fees, and other information about the college. The Tuition Protection Scheme (TPS), an initiative taken by the Australian Government, monitors the placement and refund service for international students. As being a student myself, this is a very pleasing arrangement as I don’t have to worry about losing my investment in the study. I can rest be assured that I shall graduate from Australia without any setbacks. Moreover, Australia also provides PSW opportunities which will help me gain experience that will help in my career back in my own country. Also, Australia has special health insurance coverage for international students called Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC) which will cover any kind of health emergency care required during my stay. I had also collected feedback from the students studying in Australia already and received a positive response from them about the teaching quality, student life in Australia and finally decided to study in Australia, not in other Countries.

With my further research, I got to know that  Institution Name  is a Registered Training Organization (RTO) that has been leading the way in the delivery of community services, health and nursing training services since 1999.  Institution Name  is dedicated to providing the highest quality training and assessment services to the students.  Institution Name  provides a wide range of courses in the field of the health sector. I want to study a Diploma of Nursing  institution Name  as it provides education with the use of new technologies and equipment.  Institution Name  has placement agreements with some of the best public and private hospitals and health care organizations.

in the state including Eastern Health, Austin Health, Monash Health and Healthscope which will be a good experience for my career. It offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of innovative and internationally organized degree in Australia. It has one of the best Diploma of Nursing programs in Melbourne which is composed of various cultures and people from over 200 countries. Not only this, it provides a quality educational and inspirational setting with very affordable fees having AUD ***** per semester.  Institution Name  has committed to continuous improvements, working hard to develop, implement and deliver the course and professional development program. There are other institutes like Institute of Health and Nursing Australia (IHNA), Holmesglen TAFE and Australian Centre of Further Education (ACFE), Australian Harbour International College, Southern Cross Education Institute, Queensford College, Think Education, RGIT, Curtin’s College and many more that provide the same quality of education for Diploma of Nursing as  Institution Name  but many these have a study plan for 2 years while  Institution Name  provides the same education within 1.5 years. The fees of IHNA, Holmesglen and ACFE are also higher than that of  Institution Name  which makes  Institution Name  more favorable than other institutes. Southern Cross Education Institute is located in Adelaide and Queensford College in Brisbane. But I had an interest in studying in Melbourne. The environment is an important factor of consideration. As per my research, the weather change in Melbourne really fascinated me. Melbourne is often ranked amongst the world’s most livable cities every year. Considering the city and institute, I found  Institution Name  as the best option for my higher education. The degree will provide me career paths in the health sector with many opportunities which is why I have chosen  Institution Name  for my further study.

Nursing is all about the patient. It’s a career that helps us save lives, bring happiness to individuals and their families and comfort to those in need. From mental health and aged care to rehabilitation and midwifery, there are many areas where we can make a positive impact. If we are a compassionate, strong-valued person with an urge to help others, studying nursing is a great career move. Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of illness and cares if ill, disabled and terminally ill people. Studying Nursing leads to a career as a registered nurse with a broad range of opportunities including hospital care, community health, pediatrics, mental health, aged care and many more.

Nursing is one of the few professions that allow us to match our careers with our lifestyle. Instead of working 9 to 5 every day, we’ll have the opportunity to choose a schedule that best fits into our life. Daily shifts in the nursing range between four to twelve hours, which means we’ll have time to dedicate to family and other commitments. In terms of placement, most people associate nurses with working at their local hospitals. However, we can also find employment in schools, government agencies and home care facilities. Besides nursing is a respected profession that works on the front lines of patient care every day. Depending on the type of nurse we train to be, we could be working in a hospital, emergency ward, long-term care facility, or any number of other medical facilities. Working directly with patients every day can give us a sense of purpose and a feeling of accomplishment. In the field of nursing, there are many different options. Some of them are home health aide, nursing assistant, practical nurse, a registered nurse and nurse practitioner. While it takes at least 10 to 12 years to become a doctor, it takes only 3 to 4 years to become a professional nurse. Likewise, patients aren’t just female but male as well due to which male patients will feel much comfortable with the male nurse as they would be able to understand them much better. Due to all these reasons, there is much scope for men in nursing which is why I have applied for it. But the main reason would be because the greatest reward of nursing is the knowledge that we are making a positive difference in the lives of our patients. While many other jobs may have an indirect impact on others, nursing has a direct impact. We work with patients every single day to help improve their health, wellness, and comfort. It’s definitely a job to feel proud of. So, I have chosen a Nursing career in my life.

Nursing is a noble and altruistic profession which is for those people who are passionate about health and well-being and enjoy caring for people. After completing the Bachelor of Nursing and becoming a registered nurse, I will fully utilize the opportunity of 2 years PSW to gain practical experiences. It will help me a lot to set a career back in my home country. After that, I will return back to my home country and use my knowledge, training, experience that I have learned to bring at least a small change for uplifting the health of people and serve my country. I would be able to set an example to other young men that doctor isn’t the only medical sector for men but we also have nursing.

My country is a developing country and there are wide opportunities in health sectors. They pay a high salary for qualified nurses. So, in upcoming days I can work as a senior nurse, supervisor, mentor in any reputed medical hospitals like Norvic Hospital, Bir Hospital, Om Hospital, Kathmandu Medical College, Grande International Hospital, T.U Teaching Hospital, etc. Additionally, I will get the opportunity to work as a nursing officer in different NGOs, INGOs (Action Aid Nepal, ADRA Nepal, Care International Nepal, Child Welfare Scheme, Leprosy Mission Nepal, etc.) to upgrade the health of our Nepalese citizens. There are also various job sites like www.jobsnepal.com, https://merojob.com/, https://publichealthupdate.com/, https://merorojgari.com/, etc. that we can easily surf to find our desired job. I would be able to have a nice livelihood as I would have about NPR 70,00 to 80,000 (AUD 800 to 1000) monthly salary in my own country Nepal. It will get increased as I get more experienced in the future. That way I will be able to recover my study investment shortly. Besides income, becoming a medical practitioner will also gain immense prestige in my community. I also plan to contribute to betterment in the health of the people especially in rural areas of my country by using the skills that I will have acquired from my study in Australia as they are still deprived of proper medical care. I am confident that I will get a competitive job here in Nepal with an Australian degree. If unable to find a competitive job here in the home country, I can also apply for an international job based on my degree from Australia. I can apply for the Nursing job in southeast countries, European countries where pay is very high for Registered Nurses. But I will give my first priority to my home country Nepal as it will be easy for me to work here in Nepal.

I am equally acquainted with the obligations as an international student in Australia. I am the only son of my family and I carry the responsibility to support and care for them in their old age. Also, their immense love will always pull me back to my native land. I have certain duties towards my family and society. We Nepalese follow us every ritual with dedication so in future I need to be with my family to complete the rituals and ceremonies as I am their only son. Likewise, I need to care about my parent’s property in the future. Therefore I would like to assure you that my intention of traveling to Australia is only for quality education. I will return back to Nepal as a well-educated, experienced and professional nurse.

I am from an economically sound background family is very supportive regarding my further studies. So all the expenses for the abroad study will be covered by my family. My family consists of 4 members including myself. My father is a Customs Officer at the  company name and address  and has an annual salary of NPR ******. My mother is working as a Manager in the  Company name . She has an annual salary of NPR ******. My sister is serving as a teacher in an institution name and earns NPR ****** annually. We also obtain NPR ****** from house rent and NPR ****** from land lease annually. To sum up, the yearly income of my family is NPR ******* which is equivalent to***** AUD. Being conscious about my future education, my family had arranged to maintain savings for past years. Fund of NPR ******* (AUD ******) is maintained in my mother’s bank account of SBI Bank for my tuition fees, OSHC, a living and traveling purpose which was transferred via  bank name  In addition, we have a property of approx. NPR ******** (******** AUD). So, all the expenses throughout my study period can be undoubtedly covered by my family’s income in all the possible ways. I am equally acquainted with the obligations as an international student in Australia. I am the only son of my family and I carry the responsibility to support and care for them in their old age. Also, their immense love will always pull me back to my native land. Therefore I would like to assure you that my intention of traveling to Australia is only for quality education. I will return back to Nepal as a well-educated, experienced and professional nurse and serve my nation.

I would like to state that I am fully aware of my visa conditions which fall under student visa subclass 500. As per the conditions, I need to have at least 80% attendance each semester. I also have to provide the details to an institution that I will be studying at and to Australian High Commission if address changes. Likewise, I must maintain Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC) while in Australia and show academic growth. There is work limitation for International students and I will follow the same. Therefore, I would like to assure you that I will sincerely obey all the clauses under Visa Subclass 500. Also, I do not have any immigration history in my profile.

I believe that having quality education and ample exposure to practical based knowledge would be very helpful to achieve my ultimate goal and launch my career in nursing upon my return to Nepal. I belong to a financially capable family so it would not create any financial burden to my family. Finally, I assure you as a sincere international student that I will follow all the rules and regulations held by the institution as well as the Australian government.

Yours sincerely, Student name DOB: DD/MM/YYYY Passport No: ********
