Pursuing Nursing: My Career Goals In Nursing

Career Goals:

Pursuing nursing is my passion as it is my ambition to be there to help and serve others which I know will bring value to my own life as well. Whether that is in a position of health promotion and teaching kids about stress relief at a health fair like I was able to this last fall.

Staying true to my values of faith, family, and serving others my career goals aim to look at the bigger picture.
