Tshepiso Motaung, a nurse, describes her profession as a calling.
“If you don’t have a passion for serving others you should not go into nursing,” said Tshepiso.
The young nurse said she has always had a love for working with people, which made it easy for her to choose nursing.
“It is a rewarding job, combined with the potential to enjoy stable work opportunities.
She said her love for helping started at a young age.
“I have always had a love for helping people, especially the sick and old. I always knew there was a caring and compassionate side to my personality,” said Tshepiso.
She has been a nurse for five years and said she loves every single moment of her work.
“I love how I am able to touch the lives of others in a meaningful way and when we restore their health, there’s no greater feeling than that,” said Tshepiso.
