Abstract
Emotional Intelligence is essential to all aspects of our human social life and societal norms. It is necessary to cultivate this skill to be a successful worker, businessowner, even student. In the field of nursing, emotional intelligence has a greater meaning and needs to be specially worked on to be able to fully implement into everyday life. Some important and relatively unexplored aspects of cultivating emotional intelligence in nursing is when involved in direct patient care, the need to develop new courses on emotional intelligence in nursing programs, and the effect that being able to harness emotional intelligence has on teamwork in the work environment. I intend to collect data through credible multimodal studies, academic journals, scholastic articles. This data will be qualitative, and no experiments, studies, or interviews will be conducted by me personally. I hope that in doing this research I will be able to educate readers on the significance of nurses cultivating emotional intelligence.
