One challenging case involved a patient with severe anxiety and depression who refused all end-of-life care. I conducted multiple home visits, listened to their concerns, and worked closely with the interdisciplinary team to develop a personalized care plan. By addressing their emotional needs and involving family members, we were able to gain the patient's trust and acceptance of hospice services, ultimately improving their quality of life.

I prioritize tasks by assessing the urgency and impact on patient care. I use a daily planner to schedule appointments and deadlines, and I regularly review and adjust my priorities based on changing needs. I also collaborate closely with the interdisciplinary team to ensure seamless coordination and efficient use of time, ensuring that critical tasks are never overlooked.

I employ a combination of active listening, empathy, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I also provide education on coping mechanisms and facilitate support groups. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I help patients and families navigate their emotions and find peace during difficult times.

I maintain open lines of communication through regular team meetings, email updates, and informal check-ins. I actively listen to team members' perspectives and provide input on patient care plans. By fostering a collaborative culture and encouraging feedback, I ensure that all team members are aligned and working towards the same goals, ultimately enhancing patient care.

I have extensive experience in bereavement services, including conducting grief counseling sessions and organizing memorial events. I provide ongoing support through follow-up calls and visits, offering resources and coping strategies. By creating a compassionate and supportive environment, I help families navigate their grief and find healing.
