As an LPN Unit Manager, I have managed a diverse team of healthcare professionals, ensuring adherence to patient care protocols and regulatory standards. I implement regular training sessions and performance evaluations to maintain high care standards. Additionally, I use patient feedback and quality assurance data to continuously improve our services and address any gaps in care.

I maintain a robust staffing plan that includes backup personnel and cross-training across roles to handle unexpected absences. For high turnover, I focus on improving retention by enhancing job satisfaction through recognition programs, career development opportunities, and fostering a supportive work environment. This proactive approach helps stabilize the team and ensures consistent patient care.

I believe in open communication, regular team meetings, and fostering a culture of mutual respect and support. I encourage feedback from all team members and act on their suggestions to improve work conditions. Celebrating team successes and individual achievements also boosts morale and motivates the team to perform at their best.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and impact on patient care, using tools like daily to-do lists and prioritization matrices. I delegate tasks appropriately to ensure efficient use of team resources. Regularly reviewing and adjusting priorities helps me stay focused on critical tasks and manage time effectively, even in high-pressure situations.

In a previous role, I faced a situation where patient care was compromised due to inadequate staffing. I quickly reassessed staffing needs, reallocated resources, and brought in temporary staff to ensure patient care standards were met. I also initiated a review of our staffing models to prevent similar issues in the future, demonstrating my ability to act decisively and effectively in challenging situations.
