Can a nurse be lazy?

I wanna be a nurse, I think (for the $$$), but I tend to be a little on the lazy side. I just don't know what to do with myself. I can learn anything, I have great mental energy, I just don't have physical energy. What do you think?

Update:

I'm already a CMA, so I know I can handle the mental work. I'm just not sure about the hours on my feet n' stuff like that.

    Nursing should be a vocation, something that you are passionate about. If you are only there for the money (I don't know about where you are, but here in the UK their salary is rubbish) then you won't be motivated enough to do a good job and patient care will suffer.

    First of all, you won't be a very good nurse. Nurses need to have a genuine caring for people, as they are care givers. There are many who do it for the money, as a result, patients suffer. When a person needs a nurse, they are often sick, vulnerable, and afraid. For these patients, having a lazy woman who is in the nursing position for the money, they will suffer.

    You may be better at other good paying positions like reading test results or operating testing machines. Please consider other options that better suit your personality. For your own sake and for those whose lives would depend on you.

    Once you get all of your nursing training, you may find a position in the field that is mostly desk or paperwork, but I have spoken to many nurses who put in long hours, night shift and pay the price for under staffing.

    Which posision you find yourself in is a gamble.

    If you're going to be a nurse as a career you need to be awake and alert of everything that's going on around you. And if you're not doing what you're supposed to do, then you're most likely going to be either put on probation or just fired. If you really want to be a nurse, however, then I suggest that you prepare yourself slowly for the days to come by eating extremely healthy. And if that doesn't work then you can ask your doctor on what you can do. Doctors normally do know best.

    That is one profession I can say I wouldn't want a lazy person in. I want complete, competent care from a professional.

    Get a complete check up, eat better and get your sleep. Have your thyroid and sugar checked, join a gym, make a schedule to force yourself to get up and moving.

    Maybe you should be a nurses consultant.
