Myth: Nurses want to be doctors

Truth: Nurses want to be nurses because they wish to spend most of their time providing direct care to their patients and their families. The role of the nurse requires that nurses critically think all day everyday and are on hand to manage patient deterioration and to handle crises immediately. Nurses are able to connect with patients and their families during some of the most difficult times of their lives and nurses empower patients through teaching and caring for them to make some of the most critical decisions of their lives. For these and many other reason nurses choose to be nurses and not doctors
