When I had my son two years ago, the nurses where really great, and I decided I wanted to become a Pediatric Nurse. I'm working on my pre-reqs right now. I know I want to work with kids. I love kids, and I'm not just saying that. I don't mean like "I love ice cream", or "I love the color pink." I absolutely LOVE kids, if I was ever in a situation where I had to save a child's life or save my own, I'd choose the child without a second thought. And I'm good with children, I can make the most crankest, difficult child smile.
My only problem is that I'm extremely quiet and shy. I'm horrible at talking to people (adults). I'm not a people person at all. It's not that I don't like people, I get along with everybody. I'm pretty good at accepting that people have diffrent cultures, upbringing, and opinions diffrent than mine. It takes a lot for me not to like a person. I'm just really shy until I get to know someone.
I went on a job interview today, and totally blew it! Now I'm starting to worry what's going to happen once I finish school and start working as a nurse! I'm worried about how I'm going to do. It seems like nurses are spose to be bubblie, happy, talkative people and that is just not me.
