In my previous role as an LPN, I encountered a situation where a patient's condition rapidly deteriorated. I quickly assessed the patient, coordinated with the RN on duty, and initiated emergency protocols. By maintaining calm and efficient communication with the medical team, we were able to stabilize the patient and ensure they received timely care. This experience reinforced the importance of teamwork and quick decision-making in nursing.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and severity of each patient's condition. Using a triage method, I assess and categorize tasks into immediate, high, medium, and low priority. This systematic approach ensures that critical needs are addressed first while also managing other patient care tasks effectively. Regular communication with the healthcare team also helps in coordinating care and adjusting priorities as needed.

I strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations and maintain patient confidentiality by limiting information disclosure to authorized personnel only. I use secure methods for documenting and storing patient data and ensure that all conversations regarding patient care are conducted in private settings. Educating patients about their rights to privacy and involving them in decisions regarding their information also enhances trust and compliance with privacy standards.

I manage stress by practicing mindfulness and deep breathing exercises, which help me stay focused and calm. I also engage in regular self-care activities such as exercise and maintaining a healthy diet to boost my resilience. Additionally, maintaining open communication with my colleagues and seeking support when needed helps in reducing stress and fostering a positive work environment.

I have extensive experience with various EHR systems, including Epic and Cerner. I am proficient in entering patient data, reviewing medical histories, and generating reports. My experience includes training new staff on EHR usage and optimizing workflows to enhance efficiency. I understand the importance of accuracy and timely documentation in EHRs for maintaining high-quality patient care.
