Nursing Standard Podcast

How to build your confidence at work


Listen Later

Building confidence in the workplace is vital for nursing staff, both for patient safety and nurses’ own career development. 

Being confident can help in areas such as raising concerns and overcoming imposter syndrome, as well as in job interviews and applying for opportunities, such as a secondment. 

But what steps can nurses take to build their confidence in the workplace? 

This episode looks at what we mean by confidence, how communicating with confidence can benefit your patients and your career, and how being confident can make you a better leader. 

Guests RCN Nurse of the Year 2023 and head of nursing primary care at East London NHS Foundation Trust Julie Roye and lead nurse for safe staffing at University Hospitals Leicester NHS Trust Pippa Clark speak about why a good organisational culture is vital to enable nurses to build their confidence, the importance of reflection in nursing and how to handle negative feedback. 

Celebrating your successes as a nurse is also vital in building confidence, they tell RCNi career development editor and podcast host Clare Lomas, and never forget – there is no such thing as a silly question.
