Why Nursing?

Ever since I was a little girl I always had an interest in medicine, but it was not until grade 12 that I decided to become a nurse. The main reason why I want to pursue a career in nursing is because I will able to take care of many people in need. Nursing is not just doing your duties and responsibilities, but it is about listening to your patient’s needs and concerns and trying to make them feel better. I think I will make a good nurse because I am an excellent listener and very open minded. To me, nursing is not a hobby or a profession, it is my passion. I enjoy helping people when they are struggling with something, because in the end I will get to watch them learn and grow.
