Communication
Moms are often great communicators. Whether you are teaching your toddler to speak in full sentences or checking in with your high schooler, you learn a thing or two about communication from being a mom. Similarly, great medical workers are able to communicate well with their patients and other medical staff and relay information in an efficient manner.
Patience
This might be the biggest and best reason. Starting as soon as day 1 of motherhood you learn a whole new level of patience you probably did not even know existed. This quality transfers to your workplace in healthcare, where you often have to exercise your patience with more difficult patients or those in a lot of pain.
Giving
With a career in the medical world, you will be making a few sacrifices whether it comes to working on your feet for most of the day or focusing on patients’ needs instead of your own…. Starting to sound a little like motherhood, right? As a mom you are always putting your children first and taking care of their needs. If these giving, nurturing characteristics are part of your personality, a career taking care of others seems like the perfect fit!
Time Management
Moms have to have great time management to get everything done from homework, to meal planning, to bath and bedtime. It is a great skill to have in hospitals or medical offices as you need to make sure you have enough time allocated to all your patients and are working efficiently.
