Why nursing? The question seems harmless enough‚ but the question why nursing needs more of an answer than just “I care about people” or “job security”. A question like this is deceptive in the way that it has a multi-layered answer and no answer is ever wrong. When answering a question like why nursing‚ your answer must be as complex as the study of nursing can be and is at any given moment.

I believe that the cure for many illnesses is not just in the medicine‚ but in the care a nurse gives to a patient in their home and in the hospital. I hope that I can make
