Abstract

Assertive communication is a vital skill nurses must possess. Without these skills, nurses doubt themselves, putting both themselves and their patients in danger. This presentation will focus on knowledge and skills to confidently address situations that leave you feeling uncertain, to build professional relationships, and to create new thinking patterns.
