Answer 1

 The top two qualities that makes a good nurse is showing compassion and true care for them. True care is actually sitting down with your patient and listening to what they have to say. If you looked rush, they won't feel important. They'll feel like just another patient of yours. Technical skills is great but you never hear patients and families say, "Wow, she/he really knows how to work that program!" They always talk about how much you cared for them or their loved one. I aqcuired this answer in my articles and my experience in working at Kaiser.
I first heard this quote at an interview for a new job opening in the Pediatrics Department. "People will forget what you said. They'll even forget what you did. But they'll never forget how you made them feel."-Maya Angelou. First impression is everything and in order to become a wonderful Licensed Vocational Nurse, you need to start with your patient. Then you will know what a true nurse really is.
