TYLENOL® Fund to Advance Diversity in Nursing and Health Equity Research
My name is Ugonna Omeziri, and I am thrilled to be awarded this prestigious scholarship as I pursue my dream of becoming a nurse. Currently enrolled in Humber College, where I am actively working towards a nursing degree, this achievement is a true testament to my dedication and passion for healthcare.
Hailing from a family of compassionate healthcare workers, I have always been inspired by the impact they make in the lives of others. However, my journey toward nursing wasn’t an obvious choice from the start. I initially embarked on a different career path, but my heart yearned for a profession where I could make a meaningful difference and directly contribute to the well-being of others.
The decision to switch careers was not an easy one, but it was undoubtedly the most rewarding choice I’ve made. I realized that nursing is more than just a job; it is a calling that tugs at my soul, urging me to be there for people during their most vulnerable moments.
As I reflect on why I chose nursing as a career path, I am reminded of the several occasions in my life where compassion and healing intersected. It motivates me to continue striving for excellence and instills a sense of responsibility to make the most of the opportunities presented to me.
I would like to sincerely thank the Canadian Nurses Foundation for their support of my bachelor’s degree the Tylenol® Fund to Advance Diversity in Nursing and Health Equity Research Scholarship.
