Is being responsible important for being a nurse?
I am 13, and I am in 8th grade. I love to play sports especially volleyball and basketball. I am interested in being a nurse and don't get disgusted or scared of any amount of blood shown to me.

Absolutely, you can pursue a career in nursing and still have time for your love of sports. In fact, if these are your true passions, I wholeheartedly urge you to embrace them. Remember, nursing is a profession you choose, but to truly enjoy life, it's important to have interests beyond your work. So, chase your passions without hesitation. You can definitely excel in both areas and even more.

I would say being responsible is important for a nurse among other things. You're responsible for lives. Also I don't know that blood is the only issue, there are many bodily fluids you will come in contact with daily. If you have compassion, can critically think, stay organized, have good time management, are good with people, can handle the emotional fatigue, among other things then nursing may be a good path. Academically being good at sciences like biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, also medical math, reading comprehension, and psychology those things really help.

Being responsible is a very important quality for a nurse. Many people are counting on you when you are a nurse. Your patients, your fellow nurses, other health care team members. You also need to be responsible to yourself to be the best nurse you can be - taking care of yourself by getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and exercising, will help make sure that you are at your best when taking care of other people. I also loved playing volleyball and basketball. You can continue your love of sports as a way to give yourself some down time and have fun too!
