What inspired you to become a nurse?

My desire to help others led me to pursue a career as a nurse. I have always enjoyed assisting and caring for those in need, and nursing is a profession where you can have a direct impact. During my clinical rotation, I was exposed to a variety of clinical settings, which allowed me to choose where I want to work after graduation.

Nursing is a rewarding profession. To become a nurse and to be nurse requires working hard, trusting yourself and being patient. If you are not passionate about helping others, it will be difficult. It gets hard, and you will always need to remember the reason you are in this profession. My advice to anyone considering a career in nursing is to be open-minded because it is a rewarding career.
