I believe I possess all of the above qualities and will endeavour to maintain and improve on them whenever possible. Indiscriminate care is a nurses primary aim, which…
quote from Mahatma Ghandi that I frequently reflect over as I persevere in my academic studies to become a nurse. Although I did not know that I wanted to be a nurse until my freshman year of college, I always knew from a very young age that I wanted to support and provide care for people in need.

What makes this choice unique is that from the beginning I knew that I had no desire to pursue a career in nursing. My goal has always been to work on the business side of the hospital, but I chose this degree solely to gain a better understanding of the challenges faced by those on the clinical side of the hospital. Despite…
