"I have been a nurse for more than 10 years, and people often ask me why I choose this profession. There are times I would feel frustrated and helpless, and I would question if this profession is really suitable for me. However, with encouragement from my colleagues' and patients', I always find the strength to persevere on.  

A patient once told me, 'Your voice and appearance are very comforting. You made my day during my first cancer treatment.' It is words like these that continuously fuel my passion for patient care."
