- Own your mistakes: Acknowledge errors and take steps to make things right — it builds trust and accountability. Ask for feedback from others on how you can improve or act differently in the future.
- Treat everyone with respect: Approach every interaction with kindness and understanding, regardless of the situation. This fosters stronger bonds and aligns with the nursing profession’s core values.
