To me, nursing is more than a career.. it's a calling to care for people at their most vulnerable moments. Whether it's offering comfort, providing healing, or simply being there with them, I find joy and purpose in helping others feel valued, supported, and cared for. Every act of kindness and compassion reaffirms why I chose this path and inspires me to continue growing as a student nurse now, and as a nurse and advocate in the near future, God willing.
