During my clinical rotations, I encountered a situation where a patient was experiencing severe anxiety due to unfamiliar hospital surroundings. I approached the patient with empathy, listened to their concerns, and reassured them by explaining each step of the care process. I also coordinated with the nursing team to ensure the patient felt comfortable and supported. This experience reinforced my ability to provide compassionate care while effectively managing patient anxiety in a clinical setting.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and severity of the patients' conditions. Using the nursing process, I assess each patient's needs, develop a care plan, and implement interventions. I also regularly update and revise the plan as needed. By maintaining clear communication with the healthcare team and utilizing time management skills, I ensure that all patients receive timely and appropriate care.

Effective communication involves active listening, clear and concise verbal and written communication, and empathy. I ensure to maintain eye contact, use simple language, and validate the patient's feelings. With healthcare professionals, I use clinical terminology appropriately, provide detailed updates, and actively participate in team discussions. This approach fosters a collaborative environment and enhances patient care.

When faced with ethical dilemmas, I rely on my understanding of ethical principles such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. I consult with senior nurses or ethics committees to seek guidance and ensure that the patient's rights and best interests are upheld. Open communication with the patient and their family is crucial to make informed decisions together.

My motivation stems from a deep desire to make a positive impact on patients' lives and to contribute to their healing process. Witnessing the compassionate care provided by nurses during my family members' illnesses inspired me to pursue this career. I am eager to gain practical experience, enhance my clinical skills, and prepare for my future role as a registered nurse.
