Summary
Nursing is more of a calling than a career. I have always loved caring for people in their time of need. This has allowed me to care for all ages, from the elderly in nursing homes down to the infants in nurseries and all ages in between. The nursing field is a tangible way to live out what I believe God has burdened and equipped me to do. The experiences and things He has helped me to learn in my career so far have all been valuable tools in this calling.
