As a new RN, you may be feeling a little intimidated and unsure of yourself. Luckily, there are some effective ways to boost your confidence in the workplace. Celebrate your good days, and give yourself credit when and where it’s due.
Find a mentor in the workplace who has more experience, and who can help to guide you and give you pointers. Never get too full of yourself or too overconfident. Remember that there’s so much more you need to learn as a nurse on the job and through experience.
Technical knowledge is no substitute for real life experiences and interactions with patients. Over time, you’ll feel more confident in your skills as an RN.
