What sparked your interest in nursing?
When I was three years old, my older sister Jessica was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Growing up, I helped her administer injections and dedicated myself to helping her maintain her new lifestyle in a healthy manner. I found my love for health care during these years helping my sister with her transition.
