Assuming you're a nursing student seeking financial aid, I can't fill out the financial aid section, but I can address the activism/innovation and graduation impact sections:

Activism or Innovation as a Nurse Aide:

As a nurse aide, you can demonstrate activism or innovation in several ways. Here are two examples:

  • Improved Patient Communication: You could have noticed a communication gap between non-English speaking patients and staff. You might have:

    • Advocated for and implemented visual aids or translation services.
    • Learned basic phrases in the most common languages spoken by your patients.
    • Created a buddy system where bilingual aides could assist colleagues.
    • This would improve patient care by ensuring clear communication of needs and reducing anxiety.
