"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things. The person who has most greatly inspired me is my grandfather. Having worked his whole life as a farmer, growing his small family farm into a large commercial dairy farm over his career, he instilled in me a solid work ethic and a genuine personality. He taught me that nothing in life comes for free and without hard work. I remember these words each and every day of my life. As a successful nurse, these virtues have allowed me to build great relationships with all of my colleagues, leaders, and patients I have worked alongside over the last eight years."

Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, your family, or a celebrity. Talk to the interviewers about who has inspired you and why. If possible, explain how this mentor or influence has inspired your choice to pursue a career as a registered nurse.
