Making a Choice. — In attempting to decide which one
of these divisions to enter, it is well to take stock so far
aa one may, of one's own capabilities. To do good work
in any of these fields requires that a nurse must have,
besides her technical training, some enthusiasm, adapt-
ability, and liking for the work. Occasionally one meets
the unusual nurse, the nurse who apparently can follow
any one of several different lines of work and appear to
do well in all of them. Such nurses have probably ac-
quired before and after coming to the training school
a variety of experience and education along different
lines, that serves to supplement their nm'se training;
and they have, besides, that important qualification
known as executive ability. But the majority of nurses
cannot do two or three kinds of work equally well.
