I'll be applying to nursing school soon and a lot of times the schools ask, why nursing? From what I've read, a lot of people have epic stories. (i.e. they were in the hospital as a child and then...their mother was in the hospital and then...I saw people in poverty who didn't get healthcare in my last job and then it made me decide to go into nursing...etc.)
I don't really have any of those touching stories. I researched online and found nursing seemed like the right fit because of HOW they help people, and the variety of opportunities, flexibility, and interest in science etc. I volunteered, did informationals, shadowed, will become a CNA, and this is all leading me towards my goal and solidifying my interest. This sounds very boring compared to everyone else's story. This is the honest truth but not sure I can really stand out this way.
Is anyone in the same boat or have advice?
