  • Letter to Florence Nightengale

    Based on the video about Florence Nightengale and our discussion in class, write a letter to Florence Nightengale as if you were speaking to her as the founder of modern nursing. Introduce yourself and explain why you are entering the field of nursing as well as what you will be bringing to the nursing field. Use a friendly letter format in a word document. (250 word minimum). Note: This assignment is being submitted to Turnitin.com to be checked for AI. so no AI usage is allowed

    For a quick format review:

    I have chosen to enter the field of nursing because I truly love helping others. Growing up in an urban community, I saw firsthand how access to quality healthcare can be limited, especially for those with low income. These experiences shaped my desire to make a difference and provide care to those who need it most but may not always receive it. My motivation also comes from personal loss. I have lost many friends to gun violence, and those experiences have deeply impacted me. Because of this, I hope to become a trauma nurse one day, where I can help save lives and support victims during some of their most critical moments. I want to be someone who can make a difference when it matters most.
