In my previous role at XYZ Hospital, I was responsible for continuously monitoring patients who were in the observation unit for 24-48 hours. I utilized advanced monitoring equipment to track vital signs, administered medications, and collaborated with the medical team to assess patient conditions. My experience includes handling acute situations and ensuring timely interventions to stabilize patients.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency of patient needs and the potential risk to their health. I maintain a structured approach by first addressing immediate life-threatening conditions, followed by critical care needs, and then routine care. Effective communication with the healthcare team helps in coordinating efforts and ensuring all patients receive timely care.

I practice mindfulness and deep breathing exercises to manage stress. I also ensure I have a clear understanding of my responsibilities and the support available from my team. Regular breaks and maintaining a healthy work-life balance are crucial in sustaining focus and performance during high-pressure situations.

I believe in transparent and empathetic communication. I explain medical terms in layman's terms, listen to their concerns, and provide regular updates on the patient's condition. I also involve family members in care planning when appropriate, ensuring they understand the patient's needs and the care being provided.

In my previous role, I encountered a situation where a patient's condition rapidly deteriorated. I quickly initiated emergency protocols, coordinated with the rapid response team, and provided immediate care. By maintaining calm and effective communication, we were able to stabilize the patient and transfer them to the ICU for further treatment.
