During my last contract, I encountered a situation where a patient's condition rapidly deteriorated, and the on-call doctor was delayed. I quickly assessed the patient, initiated emergency protocols, and coordinated with the nursing team to stabilize the patient until the doctor arrived. My ability to remain calm under pressure and my strong clinical skills were crucial in managing the situation effectively.

To ensure continuity of care, I always review the patient's medical history and current treatment plans before starting a new assignment. I communicate with the previous nurse or care team to understand any ongoing issues or concerns. Additionally, I document all my interventions and care provided, so the next nurse has a clear record of the patient's status.

I adapt to different hospital policies by familiarizing myself with their specific guidelines and protocols during the orientation period. I also ask questions and seek clarification from the staff to ensure I understand the expectations. By staying proactive and flexible, I can quickly integrate into the new environment and provide consistent, high-quality care.

Managing stress involves setting clear boundaries between work and personal time. I prioritize self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, and hobbies to recharge. I also maintain open communication with my agency to ensure my assignments are manageable and align with my availability. Balancing work and life helps me stay focused and energized during my shifts.

I have extensive experience with various EHR systems, including Epic, Cerner, and Meditech. I am proficient in documenting patient care, ordering tests, and reviewing results. My experience with EHRs allows me to efficiently manage patient information and ensure accurate documentation, which is crucial for continuity of care and patient safety.
