Hi there. Kind of a brutal question... I'm looking into nursing, but not sure if it's for me. I've read about the good qualities to have, what about the not-so-good ones?
I was very upset when I heard a nursing instructor say that a "a good nurse is a bad nurse." Not sure what she meant b t I guess according to her if your were too nice (thin-skinned) you were not a good nurse. I do not agree with this but just wanted to but it out there. Maybe is best to be somewhere in middle.

arrogant, know-it-alls are dangerous.
so is someone who lacks common sense.
laziness is annoying, but i've known a lot of lazy nurses who still manage to keep their patients alive and some very hard workers with no common sense who haven't.
