The ability to collaborate with other health care pr<strong>of</strong>essionals is essential, as is making use <strong>of</strong><br />
new information from patients, families, peers, teachings, and literature. Discriminating<br />

be able to identify and communicate limits <strong>of</strong> their knowledge to others, when appropriate.<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s must be able to interpret graphs describing relationships and to use other modes <strong>of</strong><br />
data presentation.<br />
Behavioral and Social Skills, Abilities, and Aptitude<br />
Empathy, integrity, interpersonal skills, interest, and motivation are personal qualities required<br />
<strong>of</strong> all nurses. They must possess the emotional health required for full use <strong>of</strong> their intellectual<br />
abilities, the exercise <strong>of</strong> good judgment, the prompt completion <strong>of</strong> responsibilities related to<br />
patient care, and the development <strong>of</strong> mature, culturally sensitive, and effective relationships<br />
with patients.<br />
These attributes require the ability to be aware <strong>of</strong>, and appropriately react to, one's own<br />
immediate emotional responses and biases. <strong>Student</strong>s must be able to develop pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
relationships with patients, providing comfort and reassurance, while protecting patient<br />
confidentiality. <strong>Student</strong>s must have the endurance and strength to function effectively under<br />
stress and for extended periods. <strong>Student</strong>s must adapt to changing environments, display<br />
flexibility, and learn to function under conditions <strong>of</strong> uncertainty inherent in the clinical<br />
problems <strong>of</strong> many patients.<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s are expected to accept appropriate suggestions and criticisms, and respond by<br />
modifying behavior when necessary.<br />
