I have extensive experience in preparing patients for surgery, which includes conducting thorough assessments, explaining the procedure, and ensuring all necessary tests and consents are in place. I also manage patient anxiety and provide emotional support, ensuring they are physically and mentally ready for the operation. My goal is to minimize complications and ensure a smooth transition into surgery.

In emergency situations, I remain calm and focused, quickly assessing the situation and following established protocols. I collaborate closely with the surgical team to implement immediate interventions. My training in advanced cardiac life support and critical care nursing equips me to handle high-stress scenarios effectively.

I adhere strictly to aseptic techniques, ensuring all equipment and surfaces are sterilized. I monitor the surgical team's compliance with gowning and gloving protocols, and I regularly check the integrity of sterile fields. Continuous education on infection control practices helps me maintain the highest standards of sterility.

I prioritize tasks based on patient needs and the urgency of surgical procedures. I use a checklist to ensure all pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative tasks are completed. Effective communication with the surgical team helps me anticipate needs and adjust priorities as the situation evolves.

During a complex surgery, we encountered unexpected bleeding. I quickly assisted the surgeon in controlling the bleeding and ensured the surgical team remained focused. I coordinated with the anesthesiologist to manage the patient's hemodynamic status, ultimately stabilizing the situation and allowing the procedure to continue successfully.
