I discounted anything from the medical field because everyone was going there and I didn't want to be a lost number of people rushing to the same career, I wanted to be a little different.…

    My life is rather very complicated. Of course, I know that I’m not the only one that lives like this, and that other people may have it much worse than I do.

    As a child we have all encounter moments when we have talked about what we would like to be when we grow up; rather it be a firefighter, engineer, architect or what have you.

The reason I would like to pursue a career in nursing is because I would be able to better assist others’. For example if someone was to get stabbed, shot or stop breathing I only have a limited amount of knowledge of what procedures to perform until medical assistance arrive. And this scares me because I have three daughters and if something was to happen at home or a family gathering I would have no knowledge of what to do.…
