One of these is both my technical and personal affiliation with nursing. In other words, I love nursing for two reasons: the medicine and the people I work with. I love the way in which the profession has developed to provide people now with the best of medical care possible. Furthermore, I love being able to comfort people in need, including the patients' families. This is also why I believe I would be a good ICU nurse.

The nursing profession is not for everyone. This gives me the feeling that those who work with, together with me, find themselves in the privileged position not only of job security, but also of a particularly strong mental and personal make-up. This of course also translates to life in general. Because I am a good nurse, I am also a blessing to those I come into contact with outside of my immediate work environment.

While I can understand the premise behind this, it is difficult for me because I do not want to burden my parents with a further need for funds. Concomitantly, I am very eager to begin earning my own money so that I can become increasingly independent as I focus on my career and my success.

Despite these difficulties, I do believe that every problem can be overcome. I have enough determination and love for my career to want success more than anything else in the world. I believe that this, rather than financial security, will eventually lead to the solution of my problems, so that I can pursue the career that I know I was meant for since early childhood.
