What It Takes
You’d be hard pressed to find a career with more opportunities than a registered nurse (RN). With outstanding career mobility and the chance to help people in need, it’s a great fit for men and women who feel called to serve others.
A Kind Heart
RNs help people who are struggling with health issues, so if you’re kind and patient, this might be a great career path.
A Willingness to Learn
As a nurse, you’re always learning new things: new treatments, medications, and equipment.
Good Cardio
You might not realize it, but nurses are constantly on the move—and almost never off their feet. Being in shape definitely helps.
Problem-Solving Skills
Sometimes, patients know something’s wrong but can’t pinpoint the issue. That’s where your problem-solving skills come into play.
Self-Discipline
Many people count on nurses to be consistent and detail-oriented. That takes lots of self-discipline.
