I became a caregiver in high school, I devoted my junior year to taking the nursing assistant course for an entire year over doing what most typical teenagers desired to do with their free time. Most of my passion comes from the diagnosis my mother received abruptly of Multiple Sclerosis. I learned from home health nurses how to provide care and I knew then that my heart was set. I love the difference I can make by just holding a patient or client hand when their loved ones can not. I love that I can give the time, patience, understanding and skill to make the patient/ client and their family comfortable and at ease. My achievements are not finished however, I am attending school to be a Registered Nurse which I plan on continuing my education from there. As for now I would like to keep working with patients as I train to do more in-depth work in the medical field. I have never desired to want to be anything but a nurse and I am certain I will not stop until I meet my goals.
