During my tenure at a previous healthcare facility, I encountered a patient who was non-compliant with their medication regimen due to fear of side effects. I addressed this by first empathizing with the patient's concerns, then explaining the benefits of the medication and potential side effects, emphasizing the importance of adherence for their health. I collaborated with the healthcare team to monitor the patient's response and adjust the treatment plan as needed, ensuring the patient felt supported and informed throughout the process.

I prioritize tasks based on the acuity of patient needs, ensuring that critical care requirements are addressed immediately. I utilize a structured approach, such as the nursing process, to systematically assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care for each patient. By maintaining clear communication with the healthcare team and regularly updating patient care plans, I ensure that all patients receive timely and appropriate care, even when managing multiple responsibilities.

I adhere strictly to HIPAA guidelines by limiting the disclosure of patient information to only those involved in their care. I use secure methods for documenting and transmitting patient data, ensuring that all electronic and paper records are stored securely. Additionally, I provide regular HIPAA training to new staff and reinforce the importance of confidentiality in daily interactions, fostering a culture of compliance and respect for patient privacy.

I approach conflicts within the healthcare team by first understanding the perspectives of all involved parties. I encourage open communication and active listening to identify the root cause of the conflict. By promoting a collaborative environment and seeking common ground, I facilitate resolution that aligns with patient care goals. I also utilize conflict resolution strategies, such as mediation, to ensure that disagreements are addressed constructively and do not impact patient care.

I have extensive experience in administering IV therapies, including complex infusions and medication drips. I have completed specialized training in IV therapy, which includes certification in advanced IV techniques and management of complications. This training has equipped me with the skills to handle a wide range of IV treatments, ensuring safe and effective administration while minimizing patient discomfort and potential risks.
