12/7 Assignment

I always figured that there was some type of misconception about nursing, regarding the nursing profession. I assumed that sometimes nursing could get rather boring and tedious due to the repetitive nature of the job. In my experience as shadowing nurses for the past four months, I can say that I was right in the fact that the job is rather tedious and it can become boring because most of the time you are doing the same thing over and over again. There are also many skills needed to be in this field; the most important skill needed in the nursing profession, I believe is the ability to cope well under high stress and to having a caring personality. By having these skills, it helps one to succeed well in the field of nursing.
