Hello everybody, I am Caro Londono an exchange student from Colombia. I have been in the United States for three years and I am finishing my senior year (high school) at Mount Airy Christian Academy. I am interested in becoming a nurse who can help and care for the sick. Because of this desire that I have, I started a project about developing a better understanding about the job that nurses do in society. The purpose of this project is get more familiar with the profession that I want to pursue in the future. My request is to get help with some questions to complete all the information that I need for my project. I will be very thankful with all the people who can help me to achieve the goal of graduate in May. These are the questions: How long takes for a nurse to be trained? What are the characteristics, values and needs of today's nurse? What kind of work do nurses do? Responsibilities Patients etc… What kind of opportunities can a nurse have for life? How can a nursing job satisfy my own and others necessities? What takes to become a nurse? What does a foreign student need to become a professional nurse in other country? I thank all of you for your time and help, Sincerely Caro Londono
