Summary
The work of a health care provider exemplifies love, bravery, and commitment to patients. From a young age, I determined in my heart that I wanted my life to represent these ideals. To me, the work of a nurse practitioner is more than just a career; it is a lifestyle that I desire to live daily by holding myself to high standards, showing compassion to others, and ultimately letting God's light shine through me for my patients and their families to see.
