Can I be a nurse even though I can be shy and quiet?

Published

Hi everyone, I'm new here since I recently committed to going to Adelphi university as a freshman to be a nurse! Now tbh I'm not sure if my qualities with being shy and quiet at times will hinder me doing well. I started trying to be better at it each year and I do speak up course when necessary. I was just wondering if there were any tips or advice anyone can give about it so I can try to do better, thanks!

I've always been shy and definitely didn't want to speak up ever or be a leader. I think if you are thrown into something that makes you have to change yourself, you adapt and get better at it. I work with patients everyday now and I am not shy or afraid to be assertive all now. I am actually surprised myself but you learn to adapt.
