Top 10 Qualities of a Great Nurse

8. Problem Solving Skills

A great nurse can think quickly and address problems as — or before — they arise.

9. Quick Response

A great nurse can respond quickly to emergencies and other situations that arise. Quite often, healthcare work is simply the response to sudden incidences, and nurses must always be prepared.

10. Respect

Great nurses respect people and rules. They are mindful of confidentiality requirements and different cultures and traditions. And they respect the wishes of the patient.
