PASSION: Why am I here? Human health and life have always fascinated me, especially due to the fact that I have always had the heart to help people with their problems. It is very satisfying to know that I have helped someone with their health issue and improved their quality of life by reducing their pain. MOTIVATION: What moves me to act?

Every other patient that I meet on the daily basis is different in one way or the other from the next one. This does not mean that they have to be treated differently. The basic principle that I use relates to respect for the human life and treating every other patient with the human dignity they deserve. My personal preferences should never dilute this principle.
One of my strengths is that I have a personality that accepts majority of personalities. This helps me to be more objective with my duties and obligations as a nurse (Weber, 2014). This does not mean that all is smooth sailing. Most times as a nurse, the situations at work are coupledwith high pressure especially during emergencies. At the same time, there are patients that are quite radical about their treatment and may seem like they have attention issues. On average in any given week, there are more...
