I am talking about coworkers' looking up to you as a leader and respecting you as a good nurse.
I would appreciate your input as I believe this is something I need to work on. Perception is everything, right? I have seen excellent nurses persecuted at work because they give the perception of being clueless and disorganized, when, if you look at their actual patient care, this is not the case. This has never happened to me, but I am interested in going one up and actually being looked up to by my coworkers.
I know the way one carries oneself matters. Do certifications matter? Committee participation?
Note that I am not talking about sucking up to management, rather, lateral respect.
Thanks in advance for your dialogue.
