WHY
SHOULD YOU SEEK THIS BOOK?
This book introduces essential cognitive
tools that will enhance your ability to think critically and reason effectively
when navigating challenges in your personal, professional, and workplace
environments. By embracing these concepts and consistently applying them, you
can take control of your thought processes—ultimately shaping the quality of
your life, your professional growth, and the way you communicate assertively
and confidently with colleagues, subordinates, and others.
In many cases, nurses have exhibited
submissive behavior, frequently apologizing unnecessarily, complaining, or
reacting negatively to ideas and opinions shared by their peers. Research also
supports this observation, indicating that nurses sometimes demonstrate
dependent clinical judgments, resistance to new ideas, and difficulty adapting
to change.
These behaviors often stem from a gap in knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to critical thinking and assertive communication. Without the ability to present and defend arguments, claims, and needs effectively—without resorting to aggression, blame, or poor decision-making—nurses may struggle to uphold professionalism, maintain a positive image, and ensure high-quality patient care.
