GERRELL SAMPSON

Gerrell Sampson is a nursing student who is dedicated to helping families with medical complications. 

Ever since I was a child, I knew that being a nurse was my calling, a purpose that resided deep in my heart. The inspiration behind this passion is my grandmother, whose unwavering dedication to caring for others always amazed me. When she battled cancer, I had the honor of caring for her, and it was during this challenging time that her resilience and determination shone brightest. Watching her never give up, even in the face of immense pain and hardship, taught me that no matter how difficult a journey is, you never stop putting up a fight. Her strength and unwavering spirit are the guiding lights that propel me forward in my nursing career, reminding me of the true essence of compassion, perseverance, and dedication.
