Award Recipient

Gianluca Santoro

CNSA Mental Health Award

Undeniably, the passion towards the vocation of nursing has been my lifelong pursuit! Indeed, my aim in achieving a career that encompasses my interpersonal and ethical strengths is fulfilled through nursing. At a young age, I decided that I wanted to positively impact the world and environment around me. Alongside such a calling, my passion for healthcare and the improvement of health in all attributes fascinated me, providing a direction for my actions of positive change. In a world where everything is constantly changing, the demonstration of quality care through the art of nursing remains everlasting. In addition, my mother who I idolize, embarked on her own successful nursing career. Her positive evaluations and experiences sparked my interest in nursing. Complimentary, I believe my personality traits and principles align with the values shared within the nursing profession. Inherently, the maintenance of human dignity, betterment of one’s wellbeing, and assuming a leadership role are components of my life that are crucial to me. As a male, I acknowledge that possessing such a role is imperative to inspire the future generation of nurses; thus, fueling my rationale of committing to the path of the nurse. Without a doubt, the motive of becoming a nurse is truly an honourable and prominent objective that I am compelled to fulfill!
