Resume
Goal:
I chose to become a nurse because I enjoy helping people. Working in
the operating room has truly given me that opportunity. When you see a
patient who is anxious about their surgery and you tell them it's going to
be fine, because you have done hundreds of cases like this one. To see
that apprehension disappear and calmness come over their faces, words can
not express the joy I feel in my heart for them.

be finished in October 2009.
