I always knew I wanted to be in the medical field since I was little, I would always play doctor with stuffed animals and dolls and I would always be interested when my mom came home.

In order to fulfill the requirements to become a registered nurse, first one has to attend an accredited nursing…

Christina Feist-Heilmeier R.N. once said,“Every nurse is drawn to nursing because of a desire to care, to serve, to help.” Nursing is an extremely noble profession, but most nurses rarely go to the extent of calling themselves a hero.

There are many reasons that have contributed to my decision to pursue Nursing. Starting with science and learning all the fascinating things the human body can do, then through my volunteer work, but there is one personal reason that made my decision to become a nurse a certain one. This reason is the passing of my younger brother due to Trisomy 13. I was only eight years old but I knew in that moment that I wanted to help people in need. I never want a family to go through what my family went…
