Aug 3, 200520 yr What is the best quality a nurse needs to have? A caring heart? Ability to work under pressure? Patience? Intelligence?
Aug 3, 200520 yr I don't think there's a single quality, as all the ones you've mentioned are important.Common sense is probably the answer, as posted above.
Aug 3, 200520 yr Common sense.I totally agree. I think that all of the qualitites that you listed are important Molly...however, common sense will take you a long way (and you can sure tell when you are working with those with it.)

Aug 3, 200520 yr Best quality - let me see25 litre bladder capacityCast iron feetIsn't that the truth! I can remember about 8 hours into my shift that I hadn't gone to the bathroom. The joke on our floor is that if you can hold it, you will be a great nurse! :rotfl: At the end of 12 hours, I can hardly walk to my car. :stone

You need to take care of yourself before taking care of anyone else, so you can keep taking care of others!

Aug 4, 200520 yr I have to agree with the common sense..the rest of the qualities can be taught...but common sense..you just have to have...
Aug 4, 200520 yr I totally agree. I think that all of the qualitites that you listed are important Molly...however, common sense will take you a long way (and you can sure tell when you are working with those with it.)DEFINITELY! That is EXACTLY the problem I notice with some of the new nurses hired on my floor! I mean I'm a new nurse but the recent nurses hired it's they have all the qualties mentioned in the op but can't put everthing together and that is what is is NO COMMON SENSE!
