>> To go into nursing, any kind of
nursing, whether it's bedside nursing,
or acute care nurse practitioner, the biggest
personality trait that people need to have is,
I would say compassion for other people.
Because it, you are working with people, no
matter what kind of nursing you're doing,
you're very involved with, interacting
with people, so that has to be there,
you have to kind of be a people person.
At the same time, you also, I would say, have
to be very self driven, and self motivated,
because, it's so important, for I think
nurses to be able to take initiative,
and to be able to stay on
top of their own practice.
There's really no one there who's going to like
tell you, you know this is what you need to do,
this is how you need to do it, in
nursing things are constantly changing,
so you really need to figure
that out on your own.
And then I think the third thing is to
be, you have to want to be like supportive
of other people, and maybe even a little bit,
like an education role, you have to be good
at helping other people, like teaching other
people, because there's constantly new people,
new nurses coming in, and
there's always places to educate
and it's a constant learning environment, so.
