We have a winner!
We have a winner!Tom's won already! Simple deduction: Nurses and Firemen top the list of most trusted. My wife is a nurse. So he went with that.
Yep, it's true. I was a Registered Nurse/Nursing Sister for 10 years. Worked in ICUs, Emergency, Wards and ended up running the Resuscitation program and then the full Graduate program in the hospital I was working in.
Sister Brendon!
I've seen it all - from the very best to the very worst. Very interesting job - makes you realise what's important in life.
Better understanding of life's real issues
The insight and cause for reflection you have when you are dealing with the sick and the dying every day makes for a better understanding of life's real issues. One major skills of nursing I've always been appreciative of in my business life (aside from the obvious benefit of having some terrific life experience) is the communication skills you develop.
When you've seen it all, taken a family aside to tell them their child didn't make it, talked a troubled soul through a rough patch, or listened to someone tell you all their dreams and hopes for a future that's not going to be there to behold......that's when you can speak to anyone about anything.
Anyway, Tom wins the book! Congratulations Tom.
Brendon
P.S: No jokes about Male Nurses. Pretty sure I've heard them all!
