About Me~
Hi, I am a student at the University of South Alabama. I recently changes my major from Elementary Special Education to Nursing. I am sure I would have been a good teacher, but I have spent the last 20 years being a paramedic. Medicine will always be where my heart belongs. I have already takes a few classes for educators, and I am glad that I have. I do enjoy working with the pediatric population and these classes have given me incite to many aspects that I may not have considered prior to the this exposure.
What It Takes To Be the Best...
I am committed to becoming a great nurse and I think the skills required to do so are seen in the way one talks to others, you should always be respectful. A nurse should be service oriented. There should be a high degree of social perceptiveness. Reading and oral comprehension are a must. A nurse must have good judgment and decision making skills, someone’s life may depend on it. Customer and personal service skills are also very important, the patients and the families are your customers. Problem sensitivity or the ability to tell when something is likely to go wrong so it can be prevented or fixed. Critical thinking is another important skill, logic and analysis so different approaches can be presented, because not every idea will work every time.
