My aspiration for becoming a nurse was influenced by my mother. Taking care of others has been a crucial part of my life ever since I was young. I lost my mom in a hospital because all the nurses were on strike and there was no one to take care of her. I want to be a nurse because, nurses are the best people that I have ever known. They are compassionate, patient, and empathetic people. Having worked as a CNA, taking care/helping on a day-to-day basis makes me happy. It makes me feel I did a good deed. I am left with a feeling of purpose, knowing I am needed in someone's life. The prospect of becoming a nurse motivates me to overcome life's obstacles, it makes me work even harder to accomplish my goals. I firmly believe that to ease the pain and suffering of another is the most noble act I can perform. I am prepared to see a wide variety of circumstances, some of them unpleasant. I hope I can provide comfort and care that will enable, maintain and improve someone's health physically, mentally, and emotionally. The close relationships I build, are what keeps me motivated.
