It\u2019s that kind of confidence when you can walk into a patient room without hesitancy or worry; when you can trust your brain has most of the answers you\u2019ll need. I didn\u2019t gain true confidence until I had been a nurse for 2-3 years, which seems like a long time. However, this is a pretty standard feeling and timeframe for most new nurses and new nursing students.<br><br>Until this time\u2026what can you do to \u201cact\u201d confident or give the air of confidence? I suggest honesty. Real-world nursing is not like nursing school. You don\u2019t have to have every step of a procedure memorized on day one; you don\u2019t need to have all the side effects of all your patient\u2019s medications memorized; and you don\u2019t need to memorize every normal lab value range. It\u2019s okay to tell your patient, \u201cI don\u2019t know the answer to that question, but let me find out.\u201d<br><br>While your clinical instructors and professors may expect memorization of all these things, most reasonable instructors will also acknowledge the intelligence it takes to say, \u201cI don\u2019t know, let me consult my resources.\u201d Be the nurse that knows their limits, accepts those limits, and knows how to problem solve. Your patients will value your honesty over your prowess and, hopefully, your instructors and professors will see the critical thinking you employ. The most dangerous nurse is the nurse who thinks they know everything and are skilled at everything.<br><br>So, as you grow as a nurse, you will gain all the skills and knowledge you need, but always be honest with your patients, know your limits, and use your resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Nurse Kelsey<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/profile\/kelsey-lafayette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Kelsey Lafayette, DNP, ARNP, FNP-C<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;is a Nursing Content Manager with Osmosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to our Ask-a-Nurse corner!
