Nursing achievements and requirements today vary within education.

On the contrary, other professions have a greater amount of educational requirements such as law, engineering and medicine.

When I was young I wanted to become a teacher; however, that all changed throughout the years. What had motivated me to become a teacher was all the supplies they had like the whiteboards, the markers, and the construction paper. It seemed fun and interesting to me to have all the supplies.
