In order to be a nurse you have to be a very nurturing person and after raising four kids of my own and so many others I believe I have that trait. I have had to deal with dozens of sick days and it’s never just one kid that gets sick. I know how to handle people and what they need when they’re sick.

I also have years in customer service and that’s the main focus behind nursing, other than all of the medical things. You need to know how to talk to people when them or their loved ones are sick or injured. Many people get aggressive and there are certain ways to deal with that. Through numerous jobs working with the public I’ve learned many different methods for it.
