I always believe, becoming a Nurse is one of the most selfless acts a person can undertake. In a society of so many different races, cultures, customs, and beliefs, nurses are a universal gift to all, and the dedicated work that they do and kindness they deliver on a daily basis should serve as a reminder of the fundamental humanity inside us all.  Over the past 14 years I realized being a Nurse is a real gift of God to serve the mankind.
