My desire for nursing was inspired by years of growing up with a chronic illness. I was born with sickle cell anemia.

    The Final Push Scholarship
    Passion, inspiration and motivation are innate qualities that one needs to have to pursue a career in the healthcare field. My desire for nursing as a career was inspired by years of growing up with a chronic illness. I was born with sickle cell anemia, which was not a well-known disease in Ghana at the time. The physicians and nurses back then did not have enough knowledge about the illness and did not have the right equipment to diagnose and/or treat the disease. I was in and out of the hospital for three years with no idea what was wrong. After three years of multiple hospital visits, I was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. Growing up with sickle cell anemia for more than 25 years, I have been frequently around healthcare professionals. My experience as a patient in the hospital was life changing. Although the doctors may have given me the diagnosis, the nurses were the ones who spent their time with me and truly made my experience better. Observing the nurses inspired my passion to care for people, especially when they are sick and really need that help. There are two main reasons that have made me fall in love with nursing and the profession it provides. I have already foreshadowed the first, which is my interest in caring for people and helping them when they are at their worst.

I believe that having this great skill will help me make real positive changes in the lives of others.

Providing basic fundamental care and assistance for my patients and being involved in their lives for the past five years has brought me great joy.

    Being a black women in health care has thought me a lot of things about myself. It has not been an easy journey. As a black women with natural hair with an African accent I get judge everyday. From my co workers making fun of my accent to my patient constantly telling me repeat myself due to my accent. I am a black woman with two degrees and working on my third one but yet I get judge everyday because of skin color. This experience has shaped me to be open minded about everyone I come in contact with. I would uplift black women in medicine to stay focus and do what they were called to do which is saving lives. I would also advise them not let the negativity and racisms in health care get to them and also stand up for what the believe in.
