Voices of nurses from around the world

Why did you become a nurse?

Dalia Guerra, Nurse
Socios En Salud-Peru

The desire to help others has been growing in me since I was a little girl, especially to help those living in poverty and who suffered from disease.

First I tried to be part of a religious order but I found certain limitations in being able to truly achieve my goals, so I turned to nursing.

Showing that what some people say is impossible or utopian to achieve, for us isn’t impossible to accomplish, because with strength, perserverance and love, you can always reach your goals.
