Opinion poll: Guess what readers think is the #1 trait of a good nurse?

4. Humility
I am a firm believer that a nurse who says that they have never made a mistake is a nurse who should never, ever, ever be trusted. Not even in a crisis and they are the only person in the hospital…they are too perfect and perfect people have never had that gut check moment where you are like “Oh, crap. That was really close. I have to be more careful! I could have really hurt that patient.” When a nurse is perfect, they have nowhere to improve to.
