nurse requires good language skills. In the hospital, I need to patience with patient and
choose different ways of talking with different patients. When people got sick, the
nurse needs to use language skills to get rid of patients fear and let patient cooperate
with a nurse. For example, when my daughter got sick, I took her to the hospital and
she didnt want to get a shot. Mom, I dont want to get a shot. Im scared. You can
play with other kids after you got a shot and I will give you a candy as a reward.

nurse said to my daughter. My daughter stopped crying and she trusted the nurse. The
nurse used her language skill to successfully placate my daughter and let my daughter

cooperate with her. Thus, I believe that the language is a necessary skill for a nurse.
Nurses can build relationships with patients through skillful conversations and get
patients trust.
It is not only the good communication skills that are important to the
nurse, but also critical thinking that is a main skill for nurses. No, I dont like to live
in the hospital. I want to go home, a child yelled to a nurse. Ok, no problem. You
can go home, but I think you want to play with my little rabbit today and maybe you
would like to sleep with her in the hospital. If you sleep with the little rabbit, I think
she will want to stay with you forever, the nurse said as she showed the little toy to
the child. After the child saw the cute toy, she didnt yell anymore. As a result, the
child stayed with the rabbit in the hospital. The nurse solves the problem in a different
way that makes it easier for the patient to accept the nurses advice. Thus, I believe that
the critical thinking is the best way to solve problems and it is useful for nurses.
family, I cant ignore the skills that a nurse needs. Although nurses have good benefit
and more job opportunities, this career requires good language skills to be competent
for the job. If I want to get this job, I need to learn and improve my language skills
such as oral communication skill and critical thinking skill. Language skills are
important to nurses because nurses can better complete their tasks and give patients
better care. I will try my best to learn how to communicate with different people and
learn how to solve problems with creativity. I wished that I could be one of many
first step in my study life. In addition to the knowledge that I will learn in school, I
need to know what skills are necessary in this career and how to succeed in this
profession. The skills need for nurses are multifaceted, such as communication skills,
critical thinking skills, and also internal resources. Moreover, I will enter a new
in a region with common goals, a certain degree of relevant content and professional
skills that use interactive mechanisms to provide information and feedback to achieve
their goals. The field that I want to study is nursing and the discourse community of
nursing is closely related to their work. Nurses have common tasks and goals, such as
how to take care of patients, how to better complete tasks in the process of patients
illness. Nurses need to communicate to get important information about their patient.

requirements of the nurse. During the interview, I recorded the main ideas of the
the most important skills to be a nurse. In general, nurses need to communicate to get
information and relay information to make patients to get the right targeted treatment.
The nurse needs to communicate with patients who have different education, culture,
and background face to face every day. Because the nurse has to get the information
through their narrative. The nurses need to know about the patients history of illness,
the causes of the disease, the symptoms of the disease, and the feeling of the patient.
Meanwhile, the nurse needs to communicate the patients information to the doctors
in a detailed and accurate manner. The doctor will give the patient the correct and
work better. The internal resources are the qualities that the nurse has in herself such
as patience, compassion, and courage that make the nurse complete the task better.
Most of the time, when a patient comes to the hospital with pain and trouble, the nurse
needs to be compassion and understand the patient with empathy. While the nurses
understand the patients feeling empathetic, the patients will establish a good
relationship with nurse. In the process of treating patients, nurses need to be very
treatment. The nurse also needs to be patient to complete each step without any
mistake. In some cases, the nurse should not only be patient, but also have courage.
Sometimes, the patients have extensive trauma that should be a lot of blooding or
massive wounds and the nurses need to have enough courage to deal with these
situations calmly.
In addition to communication and internal resources, the skills to analyze

and solve problems are used by nurses every day. The nurse needs to analyze the
patients situation and solve various problems in the treatment process. The nurses
daily job is check the patients symptoms and analyze the patients condition. In
special cases, the elderly patient of the disease, the nurse needs to analyze the
condition and the development of the disease is based on the symptoms and medical
history that they can see. In addition to the analysis, the nurse has to deal with various
important part of nurses work. Recording the patients information and the process of
treatment is a daily task for the nurse. The patients family can see the details of the
patients treatment according to the recording such as drug use and replacement,
surgical effects and postoperative recovery. Detailed case records are also important
material for hand over the patient. The other nurses or doctor can interpret the
patients situation in detail according to the record. Moreover, the record of the
disease is an important basis for future treatment of new patients. So recording skills

future. Nursing is a job that requires comprehensive abilities. Listening and speaking
skills play a very important role in the process of the nurses work, such as establish
relationship with patients better, get the important information about patients, pacify
the patients emotion, and make patients cooperate with nurses. Analysis and problem-
