Advice for Job Seekers Land the Job
To be a good health care worker, Barbara says “You have to be compassionate…And especially in nursing, you have to be detail-oriented. You have to multitask because we do a lot of multitasking.”
“I really love this profession. I love the fact that it’s so portable that you can travel, you can always get a job and there’s so many opportunities,” says Barbara.
Altogether, “if you want to go back to school and become a nurse practitioner, a certified registered nurse, an anesthetist, a midwife, an educator, a professor of nursing — these are all opportunities available to you.”
