Nurses are born leaders and salespeople

Nurses out there are probably saying what do you mean We are born salespeople? I know that you know you are leaders in your profession because look at what nurses do.

We must make life changing decisions in split seconds. We must deligate work to others and make sure it is done. We save lives. We help people make difficult decisions. We are there during good times and in tragic times in people's lives.

Now as far as salespeople ,we can all remember the patient we refused to take the medication whatever it may have been but was extremely important for the pt to take at that moment.You had to convince him/her to take it.

What about the pt who would not reason with anyone else but you.What about the pt who needed to make changes in their lifestyle in order to survive. The stories are endless.

So remember You had to sell them health. You had to sell them life.
