I was admitted to a surgical intensive care unit in India when I was 15 years old for an inflamed appendix. I was so amused by the way the nurses took care of me and the other patients over there during my 3 days stay in that ICU and in my heart I decided I want to be a nurse. My brother went for nursing first in our home and all his explanations about nursing care, the surgeries, and case scenarios fascinated me to pursue my dream.
