Gut Feeling or Best Practice? How Nurses Can Balance Personal Biases

We've all been there – that moment when your gut says, "I'm not so sure about this." But in nursing, balancing personal experience with evidence-based practice is key. Personal biases can sneak into our decision-making process, even when we think we're being objective. It's not just about following the book; it’s about knowing when to question your own perspective.

Take a moment to ask yourself: Am I truly giving the best care, or am I leaning too much on my own past experiences? A little self-reflection can go a long way in improving patient care and teamwork. And hey, talking it out with your colleagues can make all the difference – a fresh pair of eyes might just be the clarity you need. After all, we’re all in this together, right? 🤔

Nursing is about learning, unlearning, and relearning – let's keep the balance! 💪
