I believe that being a good nurse begins with being a strong patient advocate. Sometimes we are the only ones that a patient has speaking up for their best interest.

Good luck on your assignment.

A good nurse listens to the patient and the family in order to ensure the patient receives the best possible care. A good nurse always has that impending-doom radar on to catch problems when they're still fixable.

a good nurse always advocates for their patient:rotfl: even if it isn't the popular view.

i think also to be a good nurse means keeping your personal views on things like (pain control or assisted suicide) to yourself and not put it on your patients or families. never push your beliefs on anyone else, let them make an informed decision.:nono:
