Patricia Chester Smyth Summary
I strongly support your view and am truly inspired by your post. A nurse’s job is not an easy or simple task, it takes a strong, caring and knowledgeable person to be a nurse. I have noticed that it is when nurses second guess themselves patients become reluctant to comply or question the nurses’ judgement and abilities; because generally you wouldn’t believe in a person that doesn’t believe in themselves. Patricia Chester-Smyth speaks about self confidence in the nursing field she stresses the importance of the need for a nurse to be calm, decisive and reassuring as patients are experiencing turbulent times (2013). She also explains that self-confidence is the key to perform at your full potential and the habit of setting long and short term
goals can help once develop confidence (Chester Smyth, 2013). Furthermore, I believe if one is confident in their abilities that any uncalled for variables will be less jarring than if you were uncertain in yourself, cuts backs, role changes and the additions of tasks will be viewed as a normality.
