choosing a specialty and personality type?

INTJ - though also very close to INTP

I haven't been able to find a niche in nursing... I enjoyed public health and research most in school. I preferred the detailed focus of ICU over the multiple patient juggling of med-surg. I enjoyed educating and comforting patients but was all to aware of my lack of knowledge and experience. In doing follow-up for a community clinic, I found myself enjoying manipulating the database and developing more efficient workflow. I taught English as a second language and enjoyed making it engaging and relevant for the learners. I also wanted to more involved in the overall curriculum development but had no opportunity. I currently work on a health resources database which involves reviewing lots of literature. My mind is always thinking of ways to improve on the system and the product. I'm very aware of big picture issues (nursing shortage, impacted nursing programs, underinsured people, etc) and like to discuss them but am not a take charge kind of person to actually take an active role... besides, as soon as I begin focusing on one area, my interest is perked in a different area. I enjoy philosophical discussion as long as we can bring it back down the real world at some point. I enjoy planning trips, setting an itinerary and finding good deals. Anyone relate to this? What do you do?

Hey, I had a profile of the "Counselor Idealist."

The majority of my experience has been in home health.

However, I am becoming more and more interested in providing care to nurses. In the form of advocating for them and in promoting and advancing the profession.

How's that for idealism?
