The big five personality test consisted of five different categories, openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and natural reactions. First off I think each category is extremely important when dealing with nursing, they play essential roles regarding their everyday work environment. With that being said I think the way a nurse scores is more or less equivalent to the type of they are with their patients. The first category is openness, which can mean to “think outside the box”, or to just be upfront and open, I think all nurses should score Farley high. An example could be when a patient is in pain and the medications they have is not helping it is a good idea to brainstorm on what to do to get your patient feeling up to par again, in other words to “think outside the box”, to get something more efficient for the patient. Being open is important as well, another example could be if they happen to mess up on a dosage of medication for their patient, it’s extremely important to be open with the doctor to let them know the mistake you made. Conscientiousness is the next category; it means to be thorough and well organized.
Nurses should score high in this area; being organized is of great importance simply because a nurse that lacks in organization skills could accidently give a patient the wrong treatment because they got their notes mixed up or something of the sort. Organization also seems to keep you on point, to be on top of things, getting the job done without mistakes. The next category is extraversion, meaning if you are outgoing/socially active or if you prefer working/being alone. A nurse should be more socially active and outgoing because it can help them and their fellow coworkers to work as a team, it’s nice to be able to say “could you help me out with this”, and work together, rather than possibly struggling to do it alone. Agreeableness is the next category, meaning if you show compassion or are you tough and guarded. I’d have to say that nurses should score right in the middle of the two; it’s nice to have a nurse that shows empathy, but having a patient that’s being stubborn and not following the doctor’s orders is when the toughness needs to come out, not because you are being mean, but because you want to see the patient’s improvement.
The Term Paper on How the Nurse and Friar Are Important to Romeo and Juliet
In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the nurse and Friar Laurence play an enormous role. Both not only influence Romeo and Juliet and the story through their counsel, but also through their actions as well. If the decisions of these characters had been dramatically different then maybe tragedy would not have come upon both Romeo and Juliet. Both the Nurse and the Friar affect the story ...
The final category is natural reactions, meaning a few different things such as, being overly emotional, being apprehensive, anxious, and being cool calm and collective. Nurses should score higher on the calm and collective side, the last thing you need is an overly emotional nurse. Let say a family member finds out their father is dying and the nurse starts crying while discussing it with them, it’s not going to comfort them it will probably make them feel worse. Overall I believe a nurse should be open about things they do while on the job, keeping to themselves probably isn’t the best thing to do, be outgoing and team friendly, they should think of themselves as working in a group rather than alone, be each other’s support system. Always be organized to stay on top of thing, don’t fall behind. Remember to show compassion but put your foot down when it’s appropriate, and it’s okay to show emotion just be careful of how you show it.
