✧༺♥༻∞ A: To be a good nurse, you need Empathy. Empathy is the ability to feel what another person is experiencing from their point of view. For nurses, it means putting themselves in their patients’ shoes and trying to understand how they perceive what’s going on around them. A patient who rings for assistance, and then watches helplessly from their hospital bed as nurses repeatedly walk by the door doesn’t see the dozens of others the nurse is trying to assist. They only see people who don’t seem to care about their needs. ∞༺♥༻✧
♥*♡∞:｡.｡ B: I agree, a nurse should have a good heart and you should hear the love in her voice. Not everyone is born with a robust capacity to be empathetic toward others, but most people lack empathy only because they don’t know the full range of circumstances others may have experienced in life and how it affected them. It’s something nurse educators have understood since the days of Florence Nightingale, and with the knowledge and training a nursing program provides, it’s a learnable skill. ｡.｡:∞♡*♥
✧༺♥༻∞ A: Also, a nurse’s job is mentally demanding. Each day can bring a range of powerful emotions including joy, surprise, sadness, and frustration. Tough situations are all in a day’s work for a nurse, but to effectively manage the needs of colleagues, patients, and their family members, remaining calm when faced with upsetting experiences is essential. ∞༺♥༻✧
♥*♡∞:｡.｡ B: But besides that, the nurse needs communications skills. Top-notch communication skills are among the most important qualities for nurses. As a liaison between patients, doctors, and family members, nurses never stop collecting and relaying critical data. If someone drops the ball, the consequences can be devastating. Errors in transcribing medication orders, missing information on hospital discharge paperwork, and life-threatening allergies not listed in a patient's chart are common medical mistakes attributed to lack of communication. Under the right circumstances, these types of errors can cause significant harm. To communicate clearly, nurses need to be comfortable reading, writing, and presenting information to others verbally. ｡.｡:∞♡*♥
