Self-introduction
Being a nurse has been my dream job since I was child.The main reason why I want to be a nurse is that I want to change some patient's impression of nurses.Nowadays,most of the patients used to think doctors are much more important than nurses because doctors can find out what's wrong with their bodies and provide them with the most suitable treatment.Thus,they will neglect the hard work from the nurses,so I want to change their mind by showing them my passion and expertise.Finally,I hope they can respect the nurses.
