Since eight years old, I have continuously gravitated toward the thought of becoming a nurse. Fast-forward to 30, a professional milestone is becoming a critical care nurse and giving back to the active duty/veteran community. I come from a long line of military service members, and their selfless dedication to others has always inspired me. As a future critical care nurse, I will have the opportunity to directly impact the lives of those who have served/currently serve our country and their loved ones. Thank you for reading and consideration. God Bless, America!
