The Journal of Nursing Education states, “researchers found the concepts of caring and nurturance were identified as high motivators for choosing nursing” (Williams, Wertenberger, Hames, Gushuliak, 1997). At that time, I was working back office at a Urology office and was going to school. I decided one day that to be able to provide for my daughter if something were to happen between my husband and I that I could always support us. Therefore, my journey began. A Journey Amongst Friends I was fortunate enough to go to nursing school with my best friend Harley.
Her grandfather was an alcoholic and she had claimed he abused her. At age 11, Wuornos engaged in sexual activities in school in exchange for cigarettes, drugs, and food.

I asked her what made her decide to get into this line of work, she stated “It was the same kind of work she did when she helped her husband who is a Chaplin.” They would go to hospitals, nursing homes talking to them and she really enjoyed it so that is what made her decide to get into this line of work. I was going to then ask her if she enjoyed what she did but I really did not need to, as we began the interview, it ended up being more like a story of her how she began working at Faith Hospice of
Personal Philosophy Paper Yvette Thompson NURS 502 May 27, 2013 Nursing Defined My philosophy of Nursing was created early in life. I was motivated by the uniform that my grandmother wore on a daily basis. At the age of 10 I began to inquire about the meaning of the cap and why the uniform had to be white and pressed so hard.
