鈥淚n nursing you get both; You use your empathy, caring and communication but then you also rely heavily on the sciences 鈥� you need to be across pharmacology and math and have an understanding what's going on in a person's body. I often describe nursing as a job where you use your head and your heart in equal measure.鈥�
