I'm typing up an essay on becoming a pediatric nurse, and one of the requirements to write about was the personal characteristics of a pediatric nurse. I need atleast 5 different characteristics listed. Please & thank you. =)
love of children would be the obvious one good people skills/effective communication skills empathy sensitivity energetic creative warmth accepting and tolerant (especially of different cultures, ethnicities, races, sexual minorities, disabilities, etc) flexibility/even tempered/patience (kids can be a pain, and they dont like to listen) ethical strong interpersonal boundaries/ability to separate (you have to be able to deal with the dying of kids without getting overly involved)
Maternal...empathetic (that would be for parents of children)...ability to let go of sad events...
