Her Nature is Nurture – An Introduction

What Do You Wanna Be When You Grow Up?

Growing up, I always said I wanted to be a soldier (laugh with me). I grew up in the Curragh on the army barracks, and I just loved the uniform and the professionalism. Little did I know my uniform one day would be scrubs, and I would be a healthcare professional.

Like most children, my answer to “What do you wanna be when you grow up?” would change frequently—”singer,” “gymnast,” “actress.” Transition year was quite a career-focused year. It was the first time I seriously thought about my life after secondary school. I wrote my first CV, had timetabled career classes, started work experience, ran a mini company, and attended multiple career fairs as well as job exposure trips.

I couldn’t tell you the exact moment I knew I was called to be a nurse, and for a while, I wrestled with the thought of becoming a secondary school teacher. When the time came, it was literally nursing or nothing—that’s all I put down on my CAO application.

For me, nursing is not just a job; it’s a vocation. I know I am right where God wants me to be, and this knowledge is what gets me through when the journey gets tough. I have always had a desire to help people and make a difference. Anyone can make a difference in whatever path they choose in life, and nursing is mine.

Nursing is more than just something I am passionate about. I believe it is my vocation in life. I want to be the best nurse that I can be. In this short life, aim to be the best at whatever you do.

Anchor Verse

I am a Christian, and I love Jesus! My anchor verse for this page is a passage from one of my favorite books in the Bible:

Philippians 1:6
“He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion on the day of Jesus Christ.”

I am trusting that as God has started a good work in me, He will bring it to completion in my life. Watch this space!

What Does “Her Nature is Nurture” Mean?

Let’s break it down:

Nature
/ˈneɪtʃə/: The basic or inherent features, character, or qualities of something.

Nurture
Verb /ˈnəːtʃə/: To care for and protect (someone or something) while they are growing.
Noun: The action or process of nurturing someone or something.

The Logo Explained

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare system,” and it is TRUE. That is why the logo is vertebrae.

The spine is one of the most important parts of your body. Without it, you could not keep yourself upright or even stand up. It gives your body structure and support. Now read that again, but replace spine with nurse and body with healthcare system. Get it?

The flowers represent “her nature” in the flora sense but are symbolic of character as defined above.

Thank You!

With love,
