Becoming a nurse can take a lot of social skill. You must be able to communicate well
with other. Not only that but you have to be a friendly person. Being nice and calm with patient
will result in good information from that person. If you are rude and just trying to make it throw
your day it can impact the process greatly. Coming of rude to a person may cause them to get an
attitude as well. If you treat a person with respect then thats how you will be treated. A patient
wants to leave just as bad as you do and being polite can help the process go smoother. By being
a rude or impatient nurse reflects a lot on the hospital or doctors office that you are employed at.
It could then led to a termination of your employment if you choose to be rude. The patient may
complain and could cause you to lose your job enabling you to getting another someplace else.

It is hard to predict an industrys growth in a shaky economy, but in the health care
field, one things for sure: People need good medical care whether they are getting routine
checkups or seeing specialists to treat illnesses (Natalia). This means when in the medical field
you need to always be on top of your game. When talking and dealing with patients you must
know what you are doing and give your undivided attention to the patient. As the quote says
people need good medical care. Now that the demand for nursing continues to grow it would
be a good job to look at. There could even be a hospital in town that needs a nurse, and with the
right education and practicing it could yourself. This research is relevant to the article because it
states that the demand for nurses are increasing and could open up job opportunities.
