Nurses know how to multi-task. It has been said that one of the strengths of Generation X individuals is that they can do many things at once. Nurses could teach people from any generation the fine art of multi-tasking. Such a luxury is unheard of in our profession. In fact, many of us have been called adrenalin junkies because we crave high stress and challenging situations.
Nurses can be anything they want to be.
One of the great benefits of nursing is the diversity of opportunity it affords us. Experienced nurses have so many options in direct care, education, administration, the pharmaceutical industry, the legal community, care management, etc. What we learned in school as the nursing process, we now recognize as the system to work through most problems regardless of whether they are related to health care. Nurses have job security in an insecure job market. While all around us companies are laying off employees, it s rare to find a nurse being laid off.
