Role of a nurse in today's health care environment and how I envision myself embodying those roles Caregiver, decision maker, communicator, manager of care, patient advocate, and teacher are just a few of the roles a nurse plays in healthcare.

Volunteering has been a heartwarming experience for me. Since I was young, I have always cared for others and put others before myself. For Mother’s Day, I participated in a community service project that included a partnership with a women’s and children’s shelter. I was I was partnered with a child that had physical disabilities and special needs. Our project was to create personalized items for her to give to her mom. It took us a while to complete the project, but overall it was a great experience working
