* Respect for others: this may seem like a given, but the Advanced
Care RN role requires the nurse to be especially diligent in this
area and to show patience and understanding while setting
reasonable boundaries and expectations.
* Commitment to patient confidentiality: most nurses are sensitized
to patient confidentiality, from the HIPAA training they've
