Congratulations on having a desire to better yourself. Wondering if you have what it takes to be a nurse? Well it takes all kinds of nurses just like it takes all kinds of people in other jobs. I don't believe that there is a certian personality that makes you a good nurse. I came from a construction back ground. Everyone I knew thought i had lost my mind. I've been doing now for 17 years and know its one of the best decisions I have ever made. All nurses are not alike, and all types of nursing do not require either the same skill set nor the same personality. To widely differentiate I would use ER nurses as an example. They can be known as hard asses. They have to deal with drunk and disoerderly as well as critically Ill. Not to say they are not caring people, but most ER nurses are not warm and fuzzy. But, If your dying..........a good ER nurse is exactly who you want at your bedside. I would like to think that each person on this planet would recieve some gratification from helping others. If you feel that you could too..........go for it. Btw......don't mess with LPN. Just stick it out for at least an ADN progam. LPN's get most of the same responsibilities and half the pay.
