Nursing has been my passion ever since I was a little girl growing in the West African country of The Gambia. When I was little, I was infected with malaria and got admitted at the hospital. I was cared for by one terrific nurse who gave me the utmost care possible. Ever since, she and I became dear friends because of her caring and hearted behavior towards me. That day, I made a pledge to her that one day I would like to be caring nurse like her .I believe I would have died of malaria illness had it not been that wonderful nurses’ caring. I am grateful for her taking care of me the best she could. Nursing to me, is not just caring for an individual, it is about nurturing, understanding, and promoting the wellbeing of an individual as well
