Being a good nurse means being a qualified healthcare worker from a theoretical point of view and very empathetic from a relational point of view; it is a profession that finds itself in continuous contact with people and their suffering - the right word (or explanation) at the right time can make the difference in a difficult moment.

The skills necessary for a nurse are manual dexterity, a good memory to remember the procedures by heart and communication skills.

Furthermore, it is essential to know how to work as a team and be open to change, which often introduces an improvement!

Personally, I hope to become a good, competent nurse because I am working hard both in studying the exam subjects well and during the internship; I really believe in the potential of this profession.

You should write 100- 150 words. If you want to write more , great!

I chose the text "The Best Medicine?", which can be found on page 66 of the reading bank. This text struck me a lot because it talks about how laughter can speed up recovery time from illness. As can be seen in the text, laughter therapy began in the 1980s thanks to the writer Norman Cousins who described in one of his texts how he himself used comedy films to feel more relieved from a painful condition that afflicted.

Over time, this form of therapy has been widely shared by studies on the subject which have shown the actual effectiveness of this phenomenon has different levels; for example laughter helps blood flow by keeping blood vessels relaxed.

Today there are real sessions in which patients suffering from any form of painful pathology come together to forget that they are sick: joining in with the fun is doctor Tim Crick, and the 30-minute sessions that take place at Leeds City Hospital. According to Dr. Creek, in fact, "after a good laugh, our muscles relax, our mind stops focusing on pain or negative thoughts, and finally they begin to flow through our brain".

The moment of tutoring is very important and demanding, but it can become the perfect possibility for an exchange of knowledge that otherwise could not happen. And why not, the new recruits can bring a breath of freshness, lightness and lots of professional innovation!

Happy Holidays,
