Growing up, I always wanted to be a part of the healthcare industry, but I never knew exactly what job I wanted to take part in, until I discovered how broad a nurse's experience is 'nurse the specialty could be. A registered nurse can work in any age group or focus on a certain system of the body. My mother works in the healthcare field as a medical transcriptionist. I became interested in the health field because of the many stories he shared with me while working in the hospital. He taught me a lot of different things. My family history also inspired me to join the medical field. My grandmother and great-grandmother both suffered from breast cancer and my grandfather suffered from throat cancer.
