Laura Deleruyelle is a diligent nurse and understands that a good nurse is dedicated to helping others and is always willing to go the extra mile for those who are injured or ill. She says that a nurse should be able to empathize with what a patient is feeling, both physically and mentally. She should be kind and respectful when caring for her patients, have a great bedside manner, must view her position as a lifestyle or calling, not just a job. A good nurse is always educating herself on the medical field.
