You know that nursing is a calling – one that requires grit and stamina. It’s a career for the kindhearted – not fainthearted. It demands you remain flexible, think critically, stay positive, learn constantly, and keep yourself engrained in each moment. You are always striving to be the kind of nurse you’d want on your own team. That’s what makes you the kind of nurse we’d be proud to have on ours.
