Should I Become A Nurse?
There’s no debate about it: nursing is a rewarding career. You are on the frontline of fighting
disease and your contribution to the healthcare system literally saves lives. At the same time, it is
a stable and fairly well-paid job. Moreover, the need for nurses is at an all-time high. Thus, by
becoming a nurse, not only will you help individual patients during some of their most
challenging times, you would be helping the entire healthcare system.
So far, nursing sounds amazing. And then you remember that there is a great deal of
responsibility that comes with this profession, the demanding tasks, and the emotional side of the
job. You count all of these various factors in and you find yourself asking: Should I really
become a nurse?
The good, the bad, and the in-between – this article will discuss the 5Cs ―must-have
qualities for a nurse.
Commitment
Nursing is more than just a career. Becoming a nurse means you should be ready to go above
and beyond when needed; it means you are committed to upholding strong values and, above all,
it means you are dedicated to caring for your patients. Commitment also applies to life-long
learning, because, in nursing, the only way for you to keep delivering the highest quality care is
if you never stop learning.
Conscience
Conscience ensures nurses have a strong sense of moral responsibility and work ethically to
represent their patients’ concerns. Conscious nurses display high levels of empathy, being able to
put themselves in the patients’ shoes, which, in the long run, helps them be better professionals.
