Objective
Every nurse I ever met said they were called into healthcare to make a difference. Almost all view their work more as a vocation than a profession. They are inspired by the possibility of making changes in the lives of their patients. As a nurse practitioner, I have always shared these feelings. I feel privileged for the opportunity to impact the lives of patients with multiple health concerns that affect mind and body.
