I have another question. I know that before you start clinicals, you must have malpractice insurance. Where did you get malpractice insurance from?

Thank you so much! Your answer was a big help to me :)

I'm looking at nursing schools, and some seem to be accredited by the CCNE, and some by the NLNAC. Are there any other nursing accreditations? Which accreditation must a nursing school have in order to be "legit" (I guess?)? I've narrowed it down to: Dominican College - Accredited by CCNE Ramapo College of NJ - Accredited by NLNAC Hunter College - Accredited by CCNE New York Institute of Technology - Accredited by CCNE For some schools, you must have CPR certification before being admitted to the nursing program. In the school you went to, was this provided? Or did you have to take a separate class for CPR? I'm doing a lot of research on this before I go into the field. Please forgive me for asking so many questions on the site when I'm not even a nurse

Which areas don't "require" you to be "warm and fuzzy"? I imagine that all areas of nursing require you to have contact with patients.

Hello, I am just a high school student, but I have been lurking on these forums for a couple of days. I apologize if this is not the correct placement for this thread. I am really interested in becoming an RN. Why? I want to take care of and help people. I like learning and progressing in an area, and I have always been interested in medicine. I read on here that you should ask yourself that if nursing was a minimum wage job, would you still want to do it? Yes. I would still want to do it. I would still want to help people get better. I would want to be in a field that had so many different opportunities and different things to learn. My problem is that I'm not a very emotional person. I would definitely care about patients. It's just that I'm not largely empathetic. I'm bad at comforting people verbally. If any of you are familiar with the MBTI test, I'm an INTJ, and the T in my personality is extremely strong. I prefer logic over feeling, which does not help the whole empathetic situation. I want to be better at comforting people. The reason I'm writing this now is because I want to decide what I want to do before I finish high school. I would be afraid of becoming a nurse because I couldn't comfort people properly or provide enough emotional support. How could I get better at it?
