I like gives us the mental ability and the corresponding skills to look at someone's situation, make an educated assessment and implement a plan (plus add in quality control of that plan through evaluation and revision) to possibly make their situation better. It's true, I like helping people but I like that I can do so in such a skilled manner. The constantly evolving nature of our curriculum is also a plus. Ultimately, though, I want to research and teach. I want to carry on the legacy of the tremendously amazing professors and mentors I have had by guiding and inspiring the newbs. Maybe I'll help aid and heal some people along the way but teaching is where it's at. That's why I am interested in becoming a nurse.
