In my previous role, I conducted thorough preoperative assessments to ensure patients were prepared for surgery. This included reviewing medical histories, verifying consent forms, and assessing vital signs. I also communicated with the surgical team to address any concerns, ensuring a smooth transition to the operating room. My attention to detail and patient-centered approach helped minimize risks and improve outcomes.

I remain calm and focused during high-stress situations by prioritizing tasks and relying on my training. For example, during an unexpected complication, I quickly assessed the situation, communicated with the team, and followed protocols to stabilize the patient. My ability to stay composed under pressure ensures patient safety and supports the surgical team effectively.

I strictly adhere to aseptic techniques, including proper hand hygiene, wearing sterile attire, and ensuring all equipment is sterilized. I also monitor the surgical team for compliance and address any breaches immediately. By maintaining a sterile environment, I help prevent infections and ensure patient safety throughout the procedure.

I prioritize clear and concise communication by using standardized tools like SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation). I also actively listen to team members and provide timely updates during procedures. This collaborative approach fosters trust, reduces errors, and ensures everyone is aligned for optimal patient care.

I have extensive experience in postoperative care, including monitoring vital signs, managing pain, and assessing for complications. I educate patients and families on recovery expectations and provide emotional support. By closely following recovery protocols, I ensure patients transition smoothly from the OR to postoperative care, promoting faster healing and reducing readmission rates.
