PASSION. COMPASSION. EMPATHY.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A NURSE
What does it mean to be a nurse? We think about that every day at ATI.
Sleepless nights, vital signs, and patient care. That’s what quickly comes to mind. But being a nurse is so much more. It means compassion and patience, empathy and sensitivity. It means being there for a total stranger at all hours of the day and all hours of the night. It’s that ability to help keep a patient’s loved one calm, even in the most stressful of situations.
Nurses are leaders. They are communicators and professionals. They are a patient’s confidant and their advocate. What else does it mean to be a nurse? We asked our students and nurse educators this question. These are a couple of their answers:
“To me, nursing is selflessness. Our patient is our priority through our intelligence, experience and compassion. We are the healing hands that people seek in desperate times.”
“It means you put the patient first and yourself last! It means you have responsibilities to humanity..”
“Nursing is not a job. Being a nurse means patients in your care must be able to trust you. It means treating your patients and colleagues with respect, kindness, dignity and compassion.”
“Loving to serve! Taking care of your patient as if it were your precious family member. It also means you go to work to make a positive difference, not just earn a paycheck.”
“Simply, what it means to be a nurse in just one word: passion. Passion to serve, passion to care and passion to give… The books can teach me the etiology, progression, treatment, and skills to treat the illness but caring and loving what I do for my patient is not in the books.”
“Peace of mind is what it means to be a nurse… People are fearful when they are in hospital rooms all alone, and it brings them peace knowing that competent, compassionate and professional people are there to ensure that they are cared for.”
“Nursing to be is like the air we breathe. We need it to survive and our patient needs us and depend on us for comfort, compassion and love with a non judgemental state of mind. Someone who will go above and beond to provide the best quality care possible.”
“Being a nurse means I have the opportunity to help others in their time of need. I am proud to be the rock in a scary situation and, at the same time, able to show empathy and concern for others. It has to be the most rewarding feeling.”

Being a nurse is not an easy job, and we thank all nurses for their hard work. Here are some indispensable qualities of an outstanding nurse.
Being a nurse is not an easy job. The best nurses are considered exceptional because they have a thirst for knowledge, continual skill development and lots of experience.
What makes a good nurse is more than practical knowledge - their personality traits are every bit as important. Nurses understand how much time and energy they devote to their career, so they feel a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment when they make a profound difference in the lives of the patients they touch. Exceptional nurses not only use their knowledge and expertise to help their patients cope with illness, they also give a piece of their heart to each and every patient under their care.
Patients are often fearful of how an illness may affect their lives and the lives of people they love. They may feel as if they have lost control of their situation and that they are either too ill or not informed enough to speak for themselves. Nurses must be their patients’ voice, anticipate their needs and advocate for them when they are unable to do so for themselves.
Nurses are active listeners and make concerted efforts to really understand their patients’ difficulties and challenges. This is done without judgment. Nurses understand that everyone has their own set of values and life experiences to draw upon and they try to see the situation from the patient’s perspective so that they can best meet the patient’s needs.
Nurses have a high degree of emotional intelligence. As nurses, we must first understand ourselves and the way we think in order to understand how a patient might feel about his condition or react in a certain situation. We must also recognize how our strengths, limitations, values and beliefs influence our decision-making process so that we can make objective, informed decisions that are in the patient’s best interest.
Nurses are meticulous and must pay close attention to the smallest details. They have excellent organizational skills and strive to maintain order.
Nurses must rely on their skills, knowledge and experience to make quick and sound judgments. A combination of knowledge and experience is the key to recognizing a problem and offering the best solution.
Nurses must be technically strong with a thirst for knowledge. The nursing profession is a scientifically rigorous discipline that requires continuing education. Ongoing nursing education supports the professional practice of nursing and ensures the delivery of safe, evidence-based, high-quality care for patients.
A nurse’s smile displays kindness and shows confidence in the care we provide. A smile also makes us approachable, allowing our patients and family members to feel comfortable enough to ask questions about their care.
As exceptional nurses, we have the opportunity to participate in the healing of our patients and their families’ heart, mind, soul and body. They might forget your name, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
