How do I KNOW if I would be a good nurse. I am 39, considering a career change from being a homemaker and elem ed. teacher.
Are there common traits amont "happy" nurses? My personality is somewhat reserved (but friendly and loving people), detail oriented, merciful, not liking the "limelight", service oriented. I am not an extremely "high-energy" person, but enjoy a challenge. I like studying ( have a BS with high honors) and think I would enjoy the course work of nursing school. My mind is not oriented toward mechanical workings necessarily, and I wonder how much of that would be involved. Any thoughts on personalities that do well in nursing?
