My desire to work in healthcare stems from my family, a majority of them went on to pursue a nursing career which ultimately played a big influential role as to why I became a CNA. My experiences as a CNA has led me to become ambitious and compassionate as a person and my duty as a CNA, as well as helping me develop an understanding that I have the opportunity to make a difference. Knowing that I'm able to make a positive impact on the lives of the patients I've worked with has greatly inspired me to pursue a higher form of education within the healthcare field.
