What kind of people are nurses?
Based on personal experiences with a variety of nurses, I find it safe to say that genuinely caring, supportive, easy to talk to people make up a good nurse. After visiting the hospital nearly every day for 2 years to be with a sick relative, I've come to learn a lot about nurses. This is part of my motivation to become one; I want to be there to help people who need it just like the many nurses that were with my family every step of the way through our hard times. Nurses often possess diligence, compassion, a good sense of humor, and pride in representing their profession. It is important that they enjoy what they do because his/her attitude impacts the patients under their care.
What kind of skills are necessary in nursing?
Patience, attentiveness, critical thinking, effective communication, and the desire to learn are all very important qualities to obtain as a nurse. Everyday nurses encounter different situations, requiring patience and flexibility. In cases of emergency, remaining calm and attentive is significant in making sure that every act is done as efficient as possible. Without these skills, the environment of the hospital could become chaotic and more stressful which would be unsafe for patients. Overall, a nurse should be relatable, patient, humorous, and attentive and the rest should follow.

For a business student I found it very easy to relate to this post because anyone who has gone to the ER can tell you how big of a difference it is when you have a caring nurse/one who doesn't really care and just wants to get done with their shift. I really enjoyed reading this and am looking forward to reading more!
