As I have already pointed out elsewhere in this text, while growing up, I had the opportunity of interacting with various health professionals, amongst them nurses. From these interactions, I became aware that the profession does have its challenges. I am hence under no illusion whatsoever that nursing calls for sacrifice.

In the final years of my life, I want to have lovely memories of people whose lives I touched. After all, as my mum used to say, "in the final analysis, what will be most important is how you impacted on the lives of others."
