Additional Information
I have also taken on the task of some college education in process of obtaining my Nursing degree. All of my prerequisites are finished and the last thing left to do is to take the HESI exam to get into the nursing program. After I am able to get my degree, it is my ultimate goal to continue offering professional care to those who are in need. I have a great understanding of what great care is and is not. I have come across a wide range of such care given to myself due to my own history of health, and want to make sure that those who are asking to receive medical attention are taken care of in the best manor so they are comfortable and content in all aspects.
