The Dauntless Nurse: Communication Confidence Builder
The tools and tips in The Dauntless Nurse, will give you the knowledge and skills you need to confidently address experiences and behaviors that leave you feeling undermined or uncertain. Understanding why these behaviors occur, diminish their effect. Knowing how to respond hardwires your muscle memory. Reading scenarios of how other nurses have effectively handled similar situations will build the confidence that is characteristic of a Dauntless Nurse! Why do we need this book: 1) Because nursing is rewarding, stressful work, but the stress can be ameliorated by a great team, or exasperated by a bad one; 2) Because being hospitalized is the third leading cause of death in America. Our promise to first do no harm has been broken because we tolerate unprofessional behaviors; 3) the confidence and skill we have in our everyday conversations are building blocks of our professional relationships and the future of nursing.
