What inspired you to become a nurse?

I have many reasons for becoming a nurse. One of the main reasons is because I have had many opportunities and privileges my parents never had growing up. My parents have always taught me to treat others with respect and dignity. This made be become the person I am today—someone who cares and has compassion when caring for others, especially the vulnerable in times of need.

What advice would you give to someone considering a career in nursing?
