2 Hello Zhou, I want to express my gratitude for your thought-provoking post regarding the ways in which nurses can become empowered in the workplace. I agree with your perspective on the critical role of self-confidence and interpersonal communication skills in nursing. In the challenging diversed healthcare environment, it is crucial for nurses to possess a strong sense of self-confidence as it enables them to trust their abilities, take initiative, and make informed decisions in the best interest of their patients. Having confidence in their skills and knowledge helps nurses to provide competent and compassionate care that leads to better patient outcomes and satisfaction. Effective interpersonal communication skills are indeed paramount in establishing meaningful connections with patients, their families, and the interprofessional healthcare team. Nurses with excellent interpersonal communication skills possess the ability to listen attentively, empathize with their patients' experiences, and effectively convey information in a clear and compassionate manner (Johnson et al., 2020). Such open and trusting relationship between patients and nurses helps nurses to meet their physical and emotional needs and also promote a healing and supportive environment. I agree with your perspective that Kanter's theory can indeed empower nurses in the workplace. Kanter's theory emphasizes the significance of workplace structures in empowering employees to achieve their work goals in more meaningful ways. This theory proposes that providing access to resources and fostering collaboration within the workplace empowers nurses in their professional practice (Hall, 2021). When nurses have the necessary resources and are encouraged to collaborate with their colleagues, it strengthens their ability to provide quality care and achieve their professional goals effectively. You highlighted the significance of increased collaboration in the healthcare sector. I completely agree with your observation that close collaboration is essential for improving service

3 quality and providing the best medical care to patients. The example you mentioned about the teamwork among medical staff during patient rescue situations is a perfect illustration of effective collaboration. In such scenarios, doctors, nurses, and other professionals work together, coordinating their efforts to ensure the best treatment for the patient. As nurses, we have a crucial role in advocating for our patients and providing compassionate and comprehensive care. It is our responsibility to continuously develop and maintain our self-confidence, ensuring that we trust our abilities and knowledge to make informed and effective decisions. I generally found your post to be insightful and thought-provoking. Thanks for your insights.
