Sawer Sisters Nursing Award

Growing up with an undiagnosed heart problem, I was in and out of the hospital more than the average child. Although these visits were full of uncertainty, fear and sadness, they were always made brighter with the help of the amazing nurses who cared for me. It was through these interactions that I realized that I too, wanted a career that allowed me to make a difference in people’s lives! Although nursing is a mentally, physically and emotionally challenging career, it is always worth it, as it allows me to connect with those in my community and support people in their time of need! The nursing profession is so vast and always evolving, I also love to learn about the newest research, best practices, and discuss current trials within the medical field! Nursing has also granted me a new outlook on life, after seeing a baby take its first breath, and being there for many peoples lasts, it has taught me that aging is a gift, and one that not everyone gets the privilege of having. I am honored to be part of this community and am excited for my future as a Registered Nurse! Thank you to the CNF for helping me achieve my goals through the Sawer Sisters Nursing Award!
