I became a nurse because my family asked me to care for my ailing grandmother and had confidence in me that I would be good at it. My grandmother's doctors complemented me on my good work also. Meeting new people and hearing their story is what I love about being a nurse. I have mostly worked with the elderly and they always have a good story to tell and are so full of wisdom. My mother says that I have always tended to people ever since I could walk good. And since I learned how to talk, I always said that I wanted to be a nurse. I am most proud of myself for knowing what I wanted at such a young age and actually achieved the goal of becoming a nurse. I am a LPN, have been for almost 4 years. I am currently trying to go back to school for my RN. I am new to this area coming from MS. I am married with 3 children and my family is my motivation.
