Sara Williams knew she wanted to be a nurse by the time she was in Grade 6.
The pull toward health care came early, shaped by childhood visits to the hospital where her mother worked as a lab technician in Port Huron, Mich.
Annual “bring your child to work” days offered Williams an up-close look at patient care — and sparked an early fascination with the role of the nurse.
She carried that certainty into her first year of nursing school — until reality hit.
