00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:02.350
>> The main thing is compassion.

00:00:02.350 --> 00:00:04.910
I think that no person could teach you that.

00:00:04.910 --> 00:00:12.340
It's just -- I think that if you're called
to the field of nursing that you're going

00:00:12.340 --> 00:00:14.030
to have a great degree of compassion.

00:00:14.030 --> 00:00:16.210
You're going to be a people person.

00:00:16.210 --> 00:00:19.200
You don't just do it for the money.

00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:27.190
And I would just say nursing school is
nothing like the real world of nursing.

00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:29.750
It's just not picture perfect
like the textbooks.

00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:34.530
Your patients aren't going to
follow this black and white area.

00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:38.860
I mean it's -- nursing is a bunch
of gray areas, very complex.

00:00:38.860 --> 00:00:43.780
Patient presents with multiple problems
and you think that they're all medical.

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:52.150
Some are, of course, more along the lines of
social, psychosocial, mental that kind of thing.

00:00:52.150 --> 00:00:55.480
That's why I say we wear so many hats.

00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:57.480
