ALT-6 Why become a Nurse
Both male and female can have a passion and aptitude to help and care for others and can be drawn to the profession nursing. Most nurses are initially attracted to the job because of a desire to work with and help children. They would tend to focus their efforts on getting into children's nursing, which is the truest form of trust and care there is in employment with nothing carrying the same importance as the caring which comes with the supervision and aiding of peoples most precious possession, their children.
People with the ability and desire to make a career for themselves in nursing find the job extremely rewarding, whether it's child orientated nursing, or another form of nursing Some having a burning desire to care for people in anyway they can, if it's for the elderly or for patients in a rehabilitation situation, nursing victims of different traumas back to health. These are the type of qualities that make nurses so invaluable to the whole medical profession.
Modern nursing is well known for being founded by Florence Nightingale in the Crimean war. She is thought of as the founding member and mother of modern nursing. This is because nursing before Florence Nightingale's time was a task taken up by nuns or the military. Know as the caring profession, women are thought to be most capable of a better standard of nursing due to the inbuilt instinct to care and nurture, stemming from them being mothers, but there are fantastic male nurses too, and they are just as capable of being great nurses.
Nurses tend to be people that are naturally inquisitive and even nosy, but it's all in good faith because they just want to help and the inquisitiveness is a necessary personality trait for nurses as it breeds knowledge. At times it can be one of the most underrated, unappreciated and underpaid career paths. It can sometimes involve the most unpleasant of tasks which some people just could not bring them selves to do. The other side of that particular coin is the reward, satisfaction and enjoyment nurses get from their job. They thrive off the results of their hard work, care and dedication as they see a patients gradual recovery and improvement at their own hands and from the help they've been personally administering.
Nursing is a profession often neglected in terms of its recognition of importance. Forever in the shadow of doctors, nurses tend to do the important unseen work which doctors and surgeons are the figure heads of.
