Known as the most crucial soft skill to have, “Emotional Intelligence” is a form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own feelings and emotions to use guide one’s thinking and action when interacting with people.
Through unconventional education and development, New Nurse Academy creates a new mindset for Nurses that will change the current culture of nursing by training Nurses at all levels to practice with integrity, personal agency, and psychological safety.
Emotionally intelligent Nurses are more optimistic and have a positive outlook on the work they do. This increases confidence, competence, and critical thinking. Nurses who are emotionally intelligent have more self-awareness and a greater understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. And while not all conflict and crisis can be avoided, when it happens an emotionally intelligent Nurse can use their strong conflict management skills to deescalate the situation effectively.
All of these factors and more make for a more prepared, assertive and future leader in Nursing.
