Caring nature
Nurses deal with the sick and injured and their families on a daily basis, and must be able to show that they truly care about the situation.

Empathic attitude
Nurses must be able to put themselves in their patients’ shoes to provide the quality care needed.

Detail oriented
Nurses must remember to make entries on patients’ charts and to bring medications at the correct times.

Emotionally stable
Nurses feel the joy of seeing a new baby born as well as the pain of losing a long-term patient. Emotional stability is crucial to deal with the wide range of emotions nurses must endure.

Adaptable
People are unpredictable at the best of times, but become even more so under stress, so a nurse’s typical workday will require flexibility and adaptability.

Hardworking
Nursing is a never ending job. It is unusual for a hospital or medical canter to be overstaffed, which of course means more workload on each nurse in the unit.

Quick thinker
When a nurse notices something is not right with a patient, they must be able to make decisions quickly and put their plans into action instantly, because a fraction of a second can mean the difference between life and death.

Physical endurance
Nurses are on their feet all day, sometimes 12 or more hours at a time, and are often required to assist patients with activities that require physical strength.

Good judgment
A nurse must be able to look at a patient’s current state and accurately assess what is needed, especially during emergencies.
