BEING A NURSE

BEING A NURSE

A nurse should have at least five qualities. First, he or she must really like people because sick people are sometimes unpleasant and demanding. Second a nurse must be organized. If a nurse forgets to give a patient his or her medicine on time, the consequences could be serious. Medicine is very expensive today. Third, a nurse must be clam. He or she may have to make a life-and death decision than an excitable one. Also, a clam nurse can soothe a patient who is upset. Doctors need to stay calm in emergencies, too. In addition, a nurse should be physically strong because nursing requires a lot of hard physical work. A nurse probably walks several mites during each eight-hour shift, and he or she often has to lift heavy patients into and out of bed. Finally, a nurse must be intelligent enough to learn subjects ranging from chemistry to psychology and to operate the complex machinery used in hospitals today. In brief, nursing is a profession for people who are caring, organized, calm strong, and smart.
