This is worth nothing but....my younger cousin she´s a nurse....or close to as she is still graduating.
She was the kindest and easy scared girl i ever knew. And she is still today!!!!! 🙂 Never I imagined that she would become a nurse. I went so far as to warn her about the harsh side of the job. My best friends are doctors and together we told her all the worst parts.
Know what? She loves it!!! it was trully her destiny it seems. She had some initial trouble with blood and all that but overcame easily. These days she complains more about lack of team-spirit bettween nurses, doctors and other staff than about anything work related. I know she already did surgery training and Intensive Care / emergency....so it seems all is going well.
Today, as the kind and inocent girl she is, her worst fear is that some doctor or older nurse will act too harshly on her. She has totally no problem with whatever task. She even confesses to enjoy taking care of older people as they are sweet.
In the end, if you have really a feelling for it, notghing should stop 🙂
