Some people think that it is important for nurses to have medical knowledge. Others think that other qualities are important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is often believed that

nurses

ought to have

knowledge

pertaining to the medical field, whereas it is asserted by others that other traits are more significant.

Although

medical

knowledge

should definitely be a part of nursing courses, I agree with the latter notion and opine that some essential qualities apart from medical

knowledge

, should imperatively be possessed by them which include soft interpersonal and communication

skills

Use synonyms

.

To begin

with,

nurses

should have adequate medical

, as per a group of individuals.

This

means that not only should they have absolute command over common medical complaints, but they should

also

be able to apply the

since it is mainly the

nurses

who take care of patients’ medications prescribed by their doctors;

for example

, immense chaos was fomented when a nurse’s lack of sufficient

knowledge

led to the death of a patient in Karachi recently.

Hence

, had he been fully equipped with the required information, a precious life would have not been lost.

Conversely

, and as I opine,

nurses

should have superb soft

skills

and the ability to communicate. Using their words and actions, they should be able to provide patients with comfort and solace, thereby alleviating their distress to some extent. Their behaviour should be

such

that they are easily approachable to the ill.

For instance

, distinct interpersonal

skills

training courses have especially been designed in the US, which is obligatory for all

nurses

to attend;

therefore

, if the emotional needs of patients are considered, the significance of these

skills

is irrefutable. To conclude, it is frequently asserted that just the acquisition of medical

knowledge

is sufficient for

nurses

, whereas

this

opinion is highly disregarded by some. So, what are the other qualities that are crucial for

nurses

to possess? Despite the fact that the value of medical information can not be denied, I believe that exceptional interpersonal and communication

skills

are a must for them to have.
