Registered Nurses must be able to think critically and analyze complex information and situations. Because problem solving ability is linked to high performance in the sciences, and because the nursing curriculum is science-based, most nurses enjoy and/or excel in science. Also important are a strong sense of empathy and excellent communication skills. Finally, many nurses work long shifts, so physical and intellectual stamina is essential.
