What drove you to pursue a career in nursing?

"From a very young age, being the oldest of four siblings, I was always the caregiver. When I was 13, my youngest brother became extremely ill--he was only eight. With both parents working, I helped care for and attend to his needs for over two months. From that point, I knew a career in nursing would be something that I would avidly pursue. Now, after having ten years of primary care and emergency care experience under my belt, I'm looking to break into the neonatal care arena and your critical care fellowship is the perfect training for that path."

This is a question in which you can shine by espousing the vision of nursing--directly caring for patients.
