Darcy was just explaining what the article meant to her. She has had some bad things happen in her job and was just explaining. Of course we all know we can only change ourselves and should not even want to change others. We are enlightened. Some others are not. Some people just want others who exude self confidence to be brought down a notch or 2. That is so wrong. Thanks for your blog.

I do agree that administration often doesn't foster an environment of trust, accountability, and patient safety. That is one of the reasons I made my own transitions in the nursing field. In fact, it is one of the main reasons I created this website. However, it is not the point of this article. This article is about how a person can build SELF confidence. It is an inside job. The external World will always present situations that appear not to be in one's favor. Developing confidence in yourself is a tool to help you get through this. Self confidence doesn't come from administration, your spouse, friends, peers or anyone else. This is an error a lot of people make. They are searching on the outside, rather than doing the inside work. For example, if I hadn't developed my own self confidence, as soon as Darcy or yourself, or any other person had a negative comment on my website, I would take down the article, or stop writing. But I don't let it touch my self confidence. I stand firm in what I believe and in the value I hope to provide for my readers, whether or not everyone agrees with me is actually irrelevant. There will always be differing opinions. That doesn't affect MY self confidence. But once again, thank you for commenting. The issues with administration in nursing run rampant and are beyond unfortunate. I am thinking that maybe I should write an article about it. Thank you for the inspiration. Alicia-joy Hi Amarie,

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I do agree that administration often doesn’t foster an environment of trust, accountability, and patient safety. That is one of the reasons I made my own transitions in the nursing field. In fact, it is one of the main reasons I created this website.

There are places where nurses who have self confidence and speak up in the best interest of patients are viewed as "trouble makers". Administration will look for any reason to terminate those employees. It then becomes very easy to lose that self confidence. It is incumbent upon administration to foster an environment where trust, accountability and patient safety come first. When everyone knows the patient is our first priority, everyone else is also well taken care of; because negative behaviors and unsafe clinical skills aren't tolerated.

When situations get down, it is easy to adopt a negative attitude. But those are the "testing" times when our attitude really counts. Thanks for your support! Alicia-joy Hi Kelli,
