Behind every nurse, there’s a story — in many cases, several stories. They involve why the individual in question chose to get into this profession, how their work inspires others, and, very often, how they overcame different kinds of adversity to get where they are. For its annual salute to nurses, BusinessWest tells three such stories. They typify the resilience and passion of all those who choose this profession and are as compelling as they are inspirational.
