I've worked with children ages 1-16 with cerebral palsy. I believe that these parents need someone with patient and love to care for a special need individual. I believe that I am that person.
Part of the love I have for nursing is tending to the needs of patient clients with specific special needs. It is the one on one help and attention to their individual needs that I love about it. The reward is seeing my patient succeed, advancing in their own abilities.
