I'm not quite sure what area I should go into, I am not a nurse yet. We'll see what comes though.

I work with geriatrics in primary care. I find myself bored much of the time and frustrated by what I percieve to be "lack of progress" in clinical situations. I can be impatient. I do love finding solutions, crunching numbers (and I hate math! weird), educating, encouraging learning and helping patients become more autonomous. I'm always looking for the next challenge, and presently running out of challenges.

INTJ - I would apparently make a good pathologist, infectious diseases specialist, or thoracic surgeon.

I'd like to be an ER or med-surg nurse.

INFJ- For being so rare there seems to be quite a few of us.
I have taken these tests several times- and honestly I think they are psycho babble crud.
The results change frequently and they are certainly not based on any sort of scientific anything.
