The care that a nurse provides to these individuals is part of the holistic care of the patient. By ensuring the peace, comfort, and education of those surrounding the patient, the nurse by extension helps contribute to the peace, comfort and education of the patient themselves.

There is no question that nursing is demanding, but I believe that, for a person who holds all of these abilities, nursing is not only a fulfilling profession but in fact the ONLY fulfilling profession. I, for one, have wanted to be a nurse since I was a child, and cannot think of a single other job that would allow me to act on all of the principles I hold dear. I believe deeply in the basic right of every individual to a healthy life, and am committed to helping them achieve that life. I also believe that the suffering or discomfort of those who cannot help themselves should never be left unattended.
I know that this will often mean dealing with aspects of life that others might find unappealing or menial, but nothing in the service of creating a better life for someone else should be considered too insignificant a task. On the contrary, I think it is the highest calling.

My biggest fulfillment in life has come from helping and nurturing others. By bringing comfort of body, peace of mind, and strength of spirit to those who are suffering, I know I will find those things for myself as well. I feel lucky that there is a profession that will allow me realize my desire to bring happiness to others.
