I have over five years of experience in various clinical settings, including emergency and surgical units. This experience has honed my skills in patient care, critical thinking, and time management. I've also been involved in training new nurses, which improved my leadership and communication abilities. These skills are essential for providing high-quality care and collaborating effectively with the multidisciplinary team in this role.

I manage stress by maintaining a structured approach to my work, prioritizing tasks, and seeking support from colleagues when needed. I also practice mindfulness and deep breathing exercises to stay calm under pressure. This helps me make informed decisions and ensures patient safety even in critical situations.

I focus on clear communication, active listening, and empathy to understand and address patient concerns. I also ensure that I explain procedures in a way that is understandable to patients, which helps reduce their anxiety. Regular updates and involving patients in decision-making processes also contribute to their comfort and satisfaction.

I regularly attend workshops, seminars, and webinars to stay informed about new nursing practices and medical advancements. I also read professional journals and participate in online forums to discuss and learn from peers. This continuous learning ensures that I can provide the best possible care to my patients.

In a previous role, I encountered a situation where a patient was non-compliant with their medication regimen, leading to complications. I resolved this by engaging the patient in a detailed discussion about their concerns and the importance of medication adherence. I then worked with the healthcare team to tailor a more patient-friendly regimen, which significantly improved the patient's compliance and health outcomes.
