What called you to become a nurse?
I got inspired to go to nursing school by learning that being a nurse is a role where people are really asking for your help because they are sick and need the extra hand to recover. Being a nurse is a great way to express your compassion for your community for the world, and for the future that will come. I initially also was interested in nursing because I am an esthetician and I love to care for a person esthetic. But I realized that it does not totally fulfill me with joy as much as helping people that are sick or praying to see their future generation grow.
Where did you attend your schooling?
Yes I did attend a regular four year traditional nursing program at western Connecticut state university along with Norwalk community college for some prerequisite.
