What make a flawless nurse?
I would like to know the opinion of people that are not in the medical/health-care profession.
So peep! What really makes a good nurse??
Answers: Hi, I finished my Bsc Nursing almost 2 years ago, a moral Nurse is someone who is caring, compassionate, trust worthy, able to work as factor of a team, has right organisational skills, keen to learn modern skills with an explicit aim to promote health and well-being. One have to have good nation skills and be very patient beside good bedside manners!! But the main item is, always being afire to learn, because in Medicine and Nursing, it is a vivacity time of learning and the mistake many Nurses clear is thinking, OK great, I've done my degree that's it. That attitude will not work. One also has to be surrounded by keeping with the more contemporary and holistic approach to Nursing/medicine we have moved towards this century. Oh a different thing, NEVER losing sight of the hurry of basic Nursing care. So frequent Nurses I work with think empty a bed pan is beneath them, or washing a forgiving is below them. So many Nurses are just concerned next to the fancy stuff and not the basic things which are the most important. Also man able to spell, write, record information, and do simple calculation is a plus! I'm going to get shot for saying this, but within is a real issue within the NHS next to regards to Nurses lacking elementary numeracy skills. And not just younger newly qualified Nurses resembling us, older Nurses, my mentor has be a Cardiology Nurse for 20 years and couldn't read an ECG's properly, missing vital points, ok I'm ranting again!
Sorry I just realised you required answers from non health care workers! sorry
Good luck on your art, a great career choice...
I believe nurses either enjoy too much paperwork to fill in ( minority are newly lazy) but the few good ones I've met had some interactions beside people especially those that are bed ridden & not able to yak to m any people.I believe if a nurse takes a patients paw & says don't worry entry will turn out,or even IF they spend 5 mins being interested in the forgiving,unlike some that pick & choose who they do or don't like so will not to much for that person.Too oodles nursing staff now are in a hurry to take out of the ward, maybe their meal time, or paperwork.Even a friendly word for the ward until that time leaving for home.BUT on the whole NOT heaps chat to patients now,not even to ask how they are.lol.I believe a nurses job should be a mission,not just a job,afterwards they don't care as long as they get rewarded. having knowledge is fab,but more is needed ,the frail bedside manner/empathy/understanding/and compassion all rate highly next to me.
patience, a bit if chat, smiley face and lots of kind-hearted!!
good luck with your trade!
