"I was drawn to nursing through a combination of personal experience and a deep desire to make a meaningful, hands-on impact in people's lives. When a loved one endured a long hospital stay, what stood out to me the most was the role of the nurses-their compassion, attentiveness, and ability to bring comfort during uncertain moments. That experience planted a seed in me, and over time, it grew into a calling I couldn't ignore.
As I learned more about the profession, I realized that nursing was the perfect fit. It challenges me, pushes me to grow, and offers a deep sense of purpose. I'm inspired by how nurses advocate for their patients, think critically in high-pressure situations, and remain a calm, steady presence during life's most vulnerable moments. Though the journey hasn't been easy, I know I'm exactly where l'm meant to be-learning every day and preparing to care for others when they need it most."
