Have you ever had a moment where you thought, ‘This is exactly why I became a nurse’? #Spring25
I want to hear any story! Good, bad, weird, funny. I personally want to become a nurse after taking care of my mother who passed away because of metastatic cancer. Being her "mini nurse" made me realize how much of a difference I could make. Although she was my favorite patient, there were definitely times where I questioned if I could do it or not.

Can you put a taking care of a hospice family member on applications?
I haven't did a passion project and I'm in the summer before my senior year, I have an idea (maybe) on one but it's too late to show time commitment and stuff like that on it right? That's what I was told. But my mother got extremely sick last year and was on hospice for almost half of my junior year. As the hospice working only came once a week, I was her my main caretaker along with my uncle. I'm about to start volunteering at a hospital, but was wondering if I could put hospice on an application? Would that have the benefit of a passion project? Or what can I do now in place of a passion project?
