In my previous role as an RN ADON, I successfully managed a team of 20 nurses, ensuring they adhered to all healthcare regulations and standards. I conducted regular audits and provided ongoing training to maintain compliance. My approach involved clear communication, setting achievable goals, and fostering a collaborative environment where team members felt supported and valued.

I believe in addressing conflicts promptly and fairly. My approach includes active listening to all parties involved, identifying the root cause of the issue, and facilitating open dialogue. I encourage a culture of respect and understanding, ensuring that all team members feel heard and their concerns are addressed. By maintaining transparency and fairness, I aim to resolve conflicts efficiently and maintain a positive work environment.

In a fast-paced environment, I prioritize clear communication and efficient workflow management. I implement regular check-ins with the nursing team to ensure patient care standards are met and address any issues immediately. Additionally, I encourage continuous education and training to keep the team updated on the latest best practices and technologies, ensuring high-quality care is consistently delivered.

Balancing administrative duties with hands-on patient care requires effective time management and delegation. I allocate specific times for administrative tasks and ensure that patient care responsibilities are covered by competent team members. I also maintain a flexible schedule to address urgent patient needs and provide support when necessary. This approach ensures that both administrative duties and patient care are prioritized without compromising either.

In my previous role, I introduced a new infection control protocol that required extensive training and buy-in from the nursing team. I organized detailed training sessions, provided written materials, and conducted follow-up assessments to ensure understanding and compliance. By involving the team in the process and addressing their concerns, I successfully implemented the new policy, resulting in a significant reduction in infection rates.
