What I love about nursing is that it is such a hands-on profession. The relationship between a nurse and a patient is incredible. My favorite thing about nursing is being able to teach others.
I always had a deep desire to help people in need and knew that nursing was the best way for me to fulfill that desire. I absolutely love the patient contact.
