I really wanted to do something interesting and makes a difference in people\u2019s lives daily. Nursing is a very rewarding job for me. And I know from the time I was really young nursing was something I wanted to do with my life. When I moved to Canada, I had to go through a lot of hard work and sacrifices before I became a nurse again. It feels really good and satisfying.
