Years of testing and there is still no answer as to what happened to her. It took a total of 6 months, watching her suffer through testing, for me to decide I wanted to be a nurse and serve others. I am committed to evidence based practice, because I know that I need to fully earn my knowledge and be hands-on, in order to be able to help and serve others.

I want to be in a place where I am with others that want to be excellent. I want to learn not only from my peers, but also from my patients.

Becoming a nurse means the world to me, my biggest goal is giving back to others, and I feel that a career in nursing will teach me how to serve others
