My dream of becoming a Nurse started when I volunteered at Promenade Rehabilitation Center. I remember it like it was yesterday; the automatic doors, squeaky clean floors, nurses running about and of course the elderly in wheelchairs occasionally calling my name for an extra push. Many of the elderly I worked with had been left at the nursing home abandoned, mistreated and forgotten by their family members. They were sad but I made it my duty to make them happy with my compassionate and warm smile. I let them know that they could trust me. This made my volunteer experience not only rewarding but also meaningful as it sparked a fire in me. Like a light bulb going off in a geniuses’ mind, I realized that nursing was the career for me.
