I am a pre-nursing student and I am really excited about starting my nursing classes and being a nurse! However, my personality has always been more on the quiet side. I've never let it affect any of the jobs I've had. I don't let it stop me from doing what I need to do, but I'm worried that people will preceive my quietness in the wrong way. I am especially worried because I want to go into OB more than anything, that's why I am even going back to school for nursing because I want to be in OB and Labor and Delivery. I know I wouldn't let my quietness affect anyone's health and safety but I don't want people to think I don't know what I'm doing or am just stupid because I'm quiet. I know I will be fine as soon as I learn what I am supposed to be doing, but I am worried if I don't tackle the quiet part of my personality I will encounter problems. I also strongly believe that certain personalities respond to certain personalities better than others, and it's all very individual, so having a variety of personalities in a unit would be helpful. I don't know though, what do you all think?
