I think the reason I love taking care of people is mostly that it makes me feel great. That sounds a bit selfish I guess but doing this work is incredibly rewarding. I come from a family of nurses, I'm in nursing school and I currently work in a hospital, I suppose you could say nursing is my life. I'm proud of the work I do because I know regardless of whether I accomplished something big or if I simply just took care of a bunch of small things on a given day that it meant something for someone in need. This field is unlike any other I have come across and I feel thankful for the people who give me an opportunity to make a real difference for them everyday, because in turn I get an opportunity to do things that truly do matter.
