4. Confidence • In a clinical environment, confidence doesn’t means that you know everything, it means having a belief in your abilities and training. • During the communication with the patient, giving the idea of assuredness is important too. If you are nervous in front of your patient then he/she will also be scared. This is not good for you and your patient. And the patient doesn’t follow your instructions properly. • However, if you are calm and confident in front of your patient then the patient feels comfortable with you and it makes them more compliant means he/she follow your instructions properly.

5. Teamwork • Every employability complete with teamwork and nursing also comes in this. Teamwork doesn’t mean only work with the colleague employees, it means work well with others and work with others in a good way. • You need to liaise with the doctors, healthcare assistants, etc apart from working with the other nurses. • In a more sensitive setting, this could be in a trauma team, in which there is a need to work fastly and effectively for the patient’s survival.

Nurses connect with their patients in an emotional state. Nurses listen to the patient and they open with the patient with an unbiased communication. When the patients get empower then they express their fears, feelings, and concerns related to their healthcare.

10. Adaptability/ Flexibility As a nurse adaptability/flexibility means working in different hospitals, wards or to cover a shift being called in the last minute. Nurses should be strong and also able to handle a lot, so they can adjust according to any given situation. It means in every situation you have to work quickly. And the situation is like dealing with violent and dangerous behavior from a patient which is unstable or helping a new mother through childbirth, you should react according to the situation quickly.
