It’s the opportunity to make a difference that drives you. It's taking the time to really listen to a patient so you can do your best to help. It's the camaraderie among professionals who push you further than you ever thought you could go. You are as equally diligent and attentive during quiet times as you are in a crisis situation.

You are a highly empathetic individual with a high level of emotional and social intelligence. Your satisfaction comes from a patient’s noticeable progress or a sincere word of thanks from your patient's family. It's these experiences that solidify your dedication to helping others.
