I’ll start off with my strengths. I am a people person and very outgoing, which makes interacting and talking to people easy for me. I’m a very caring and compassionate person, and I am a very empathetic person, especially with my patients. I am very knowledgeable about the nursing practice.

Being a hard worker can also have a downside to it though, because I will work myself until I am exhausted, and still not quit if someone needs something to be done. That is probably one of two of my biggest weaknesses. The other is how much I care about helping other people. I care too much about how others are. I would rather take care of someone else than myself. The reason why I want to have a job as a Nurse Practitioner in Pediatrics, is because I care so

    Scraping your knee on the sidewalk, getting hit hard with the basketball, falling off the monkey bars, these are just a few examples of ways you can get hurt at school.
