Philosophy of Medicine
"As a young child with a Broken arm. I couldn't help but marvel at the kindness and care of the health care workers. Even at 12 years of age, I knew I wanted to show that level of care to people. As a nursing student I desired to learn more about psychiatry and psychiatric nursing. Most people have personal experience with mental illness, either directly or with immediate family or friends. This is the reason I desire to treat all people with care, respect, and dignity. It does not matter what illness label you may have. What matters is you and your health, period."
