Achieving Nursing Career Goals

Decent Essays
I also gained tremendous encouragement from this motto when I decided to pursue a nursing career in my forties. Some of my family and friends have been telling me that it’s unwise to give up my business and start a new career in a different field at my age. They think I’m at a huge disadvantage compared to most of my young classmates. However, I believe that my genuine interest and enthusiasm in nursing will help me to excel in this field and achieve my career goal. After all, “nothing is impossible to a willing heart”.
