Summary
For the past 12 years of experience as Nurse, I have learned so much not just honed my skills and gained knowledge but also developed a positive attitude towards myself and others, specially to all my clients, at first I am not confident and there were times that my values and patience were tested by my profession but now I can say that the nursing profession is indeed my calling, to help those who are in need at the same time knowing my value and capabilities and as well as limitation that triggers my hunger to develop and learn more skills and acquire new knowledge in this changing world.
