Career Choices - How Being a Nursing Professional Can Help You Touch Lives and Make a Difference

A nurse is more than just someone who helps a doctor with patients. Nurses are a line of communication for those who may have no one else to talk to. They can serve as a confidante for those who don't want the rest of the world to know why they are seeking care.

Inspire Hope in Others

As a nurse, you are the one who is going to talk to patients about their status, give them their medicine and otherwise be there when a person needs someone to talk to. If someone is going through a battle with cancer or a child is going through an illness, you can be there to give hope to that person.

There have been stories where nurses will hold a spa day inside a patient's room or just spend extra time talking to that person even when their shift is over. Just knowing that someone cares can provide the hope that a person needs to keep going.
