Knowledge and skills
Effective Communication
On
a daily basis, school nurses must communicate with their patients,
patients’ family members where necessary, boarding master and higher
authority of the school. In addition, nurses need to be able to clearly
articulate any instructions for patients, such as how to take a
medication or change a bandage.

Critical Thinking
Speaking
of critical, critical thinking is another essential nursing skill. No
day is the same in the life of a nurse. Nurses are constantly
encountering new patients, new conditions, and new symptoms. Not to
mention, health conditions change all the time. Existing patients may
develop different symptoms, or react poorly to a treatment or
medication. Nurses must know how to think on their feet to approach all
that comes their way.

Attention to Detail
Nurses
must be detail-oriented, as many of the situations they handle can be a
matter of life or death. Nurses must be precise in ensuring that
patients are given the correct treatments, in the right dosages and at
the right times. In addition, they must pay attention to seemingly small
details (like minor patient symptoms, or allergies), and ask questions
to ensure nothing is missed.

Flexibility and Adaptability
A
nurse must be able to adapt to all that comes your way, you must know
how to manage, stay flexible, and keep pressing forward. Commitment to
Learning

Nursing is a field of constant learning.
This
is common in the healthcare field, as things are always changing. New
technology is coming forth, and new treatments are being established. In
order to stay current, you must be committed to learning and developing
your career. You can also stay up-to-date simply by asking questions
from different sources.
