We have to listen to our desires and follow our hearts."

"I would say, be open to changes and unexpected discoveries. I started nursing school by thinking I may want to work primarily in the pediatrics field. However, I have had opportunities to work in many different specialty areas such as nursing homes and even advising on public health education and awareness programs."
