You need to be very conscientious, as you will be taking on a high level of responsibility for people in need of care. In any case, you also need a strong sense of empathy and strong interpersonal skills. You must also be able to assert yourself, for example with patients and their relatives. Since you may also be dealing with seriously ill or dying patients, you need to have a very stable psyche. Finally, you also need to be physically fit, as you will also have to carry equipment and move patients, for example.
