Nurse believes a chat or two is good for patients

PETALING JAYA: Being chatty may not seem like a crucial quality in a nurse, but for Nuur Furqaan (pic) Ishak it stands her in good stead. Despite her hectic schedule, the nurse manager makes it a point to stop and chat with her patients – sometimes spending up to two hours in conversation with them.

“Sometimes I would go into their rooms and spend an hour or two, just to listen to the patients and talk with them,” she said.
