Top 10 Qualities of a Great Nurse
MonsterNursing.com staff
1. Communication Skills
Solid communication skills are a basic foundation for any career. But for nurses, it’s one of the most important aspects of the job. A great nurse has excellent communication skills, especially when it comes to speaking and listening. They are able to follow directions without a problem and can easily communicate with patients and families.
Nurses always need to be on top of their game and make sure that their patients are clearly understood by everyone else. A truly stellar nurse is able to advocate for her patients and anticipate their needs.

I agree with cdnurse about using those points as a screening guide...unfortunately not all nurses out there meet even half of those qualities...
