Here's how you can overcome the consequences of lacking assertiveness and confidence in a nursing career.
In the fast-paced world of healthcare, nurses are often at the forefront of patient care, which requires a blend of technical skill and interpersonal ability. Assertiveness and confidence are crucial qualities for effective communication and advocacy for both patients and healthcare teams. Without these skills, nurses may struggle to voice concerns, contribute to patient care plans, or collaborate with peers, which can lead to decreased job satisfaction and compromised patient care. But fear not, as there are strategies to bolster these essential skills and mitigate their absence in your nursing career.
