To me, life is unusual in that it exposes you to the qualities you want while maintaining everything just out of reach. We as humans appear to extract some understanding or truth from each encounter as we develop and go through good and negative life experiences. If I talk about the living experience, it has greatly inspired me to be a nurse. My mother has cared for me, my siblings, and my father since I can remember. My father is a sickly old gentleman. He's still unwell, and my mother and I still care for him. His health deteriorated, and I worked hard to keep my professional manner. When I was extremely distraught, I experienced firsthand how difficult it is to make selections. My friends and peers who encouraged me have always been in my heart. My mother was passionate about helping others. I don't imagine my mother ever turned down somebody who required her help. I recall family people from both sides of the family phoning my mother when they were sick or injured. She enjoyed assisting others, and she appreciated supporting others. I believe that a person is born with the qualities that make them a good nurse. That is why I have decided to pursue nursing as a career. Selecting ever to become a nurse is not something I was obliged to do. I've wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember.

It is hugely empowering to make a difference in someone's life daily. My words, actions, and attitude have the potential to help someone recover, which I will remember for the rest of my life. Nursing is one of the few professions that benefit you and others. It's a fascinating, ever-changing, diverse job that allows you to learn something new daily. I believe the work of a nurse entails a great deal of responsibility, and I am confident that the skills I possess will enable me to become a highly skilled and capable member of the nursing team after I have completed my degree. I wanted to be a nurse because I have a genuine passion for caring for people and teaching them how to live healthier lives and make better lifestyle choices.
