Why I Want to be a Nurse

I really want to become a nurse to care for other people. Before I came to Covenant House I didn’t have time to pursue any schooling because I was a teenage mother raising two daughters. Now that I’m at Covenant House though, I have time to do that. My daughters are staying with their grandmothers while I’m here working for a better future for all of us. Now I’ve got my Clinical Nurse Specialist certification, and I’m taking classes to prepare for the GRE. Soon I want to enroll at Madonna University’s College of Nursing and Health to become a Registered Nurse.

I’m really glad CHM has been here for me to help me set my goals and understand the steps to become a nurse. Before I know it I will be caring for patients with the same love that Covenant House has shown to me.
