Confident Nurses Make Quick Decisions (But Are They Always Right?)
Nurses with higher core self-evaluation (CSE) scores, especially in self-esteem and self-efficacy, tend to be more confident and decisive in clinical decision-making. While these traits may lead to quicker decisions, the study acknowledges that speed doesn't guarantee accuracy and further research is needed.

Identified Weaknesses
