Repost @nursericha_ Let’s talk nurse confidence!🩺 Self doubt usually keeps you on the edge and practice nursing safely for your patients, but too much self doubt can become problematic and hinder your growth as a nurse. Self confidence is very important to overcome learning gaps, to stop feeling like an imposter and to fight work anxiety and stress. Here’s what I did to overcome self doubt & develop confidence as a nurse: 💉Remind yourself how you got here: you studied hard, learnt skills, killed it at clinicals, passed NCLEX & got a job because of your hard work. Don’t forget how hard you’ve worked & the knowledge you possess. Remind yourself of your past successes and know that you got this too! 💉Make progress each day & reward yourself: learn something new each day & when you perform a new skill you just learnt, appreciate yourself for it. It will help you build confidence in your learning skills & performance. 💉Become a sponge: Take in all the knowledge you can. Always show initiative to learn new skills. If you find out about an opportunity presenting at your workplace to learn something new, do not think twice before grabbing that chance. New skills & new knowledge will help you build confidence in your competence as a nurse. 💉Specialize: I cannot emphasize enough on how important it is to always keep learning. Not only studying will help you gain more knowledge and provide better care, but it will also give you an edge and a unique confidence. Here’s just some tips to help you build confidence as a nurse. As I always say, fake it till you make it. Don’t hesitate to ask for help. Don’t feel bad for asking questions. Even if you’re scared of someone thinking you’re stupid, don’t hold back, because after getting the answer, you’re growing for yourself & they were once in your shoes too. So don’t let anyone bring you down ❤️ ——————————————————— #nursetips #confidenceiskey #howtobuildconfidence #confidentwomen #confidencequotes #aspiretoinspire #newnurse #nursesofinstagram #nursingstudent #nursingstudentlife #nurseshelpingnurses #workanxiety #learningeveryday #motivation #cutenurse https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkEhurhe-H/?igshid=1qi7snt03r4ov
