In my previous role, I encountered a situation where a patient's condition rapidly deteriorated. I quickly assessed the situation, coordinated with the medical team, and initiated emergency protocols. By maintaining calm and clear communication, we were able to stabilize the patient and transfer them to the ICU. This experience reinforced the importance of quick thinking, teamwork, and effective communication in critical situations.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and patient needs. I start by addressing immediate medical concerns and then move on to preventive care and patient education. Using a checklist helps me ensure that no critical tasks are overlooked. I also regularly update my progress with the team to ensure smooth workflow and patient safety.

I practice mindfulness and deep breathing exercises to manage stress. I also ensure I have a good support network, both at work and outside, to share challenges and seek advice. Regular breaks and maintaining a healthy lifestyle help me stay positive and focused. Recognizing small victories and celebrating team successes also boosts morale.

I strictly follow hospital policies and HIPAA guidelines regarding patient confidentiality. I only discuss patient information in secure settings and with authorized personnel. I use encrypted communication channels and ensure that all patient records are stored securely. Educating new staff about HIPAA regulations is also part of my responsibility to maintain compliance.

I have extensive experience with various EHR systems, including Epic and Cerner. I am proficient in documenting patient care, ordering tests, and reviewing results electronically. I also train new staff on EHR usage to ensure accurate and timely documentation. My experience with EHRs has enhanced my efficiency and improved patient care coordination.
