During my clinical rotation, I encountered a patient who was non-compliant with their medication regimen. I took the time to understand their concerns and explained the importance of adherence in a way that resonated with them. By involving the patient in their care plan and providing education, I was able to improve their compliance and overall health outcomes.

I prioritize tasks based on the acuity of the patient and the immediacy of the intervention required. I use a triage system to categorize tasks and ensure that critical needs are addressed first. Additionally, I communicate with my team to delegate tasks effectively, ensuring that all patients receive timely care.

I ensure patient confidentiality by only discussing patient information in secure, private settings and by using encrypted communication methods. I also limit access to patient records to only those who need the information for patient care. Regularly reviewing HIPAA guidelines helps me stay compliant and protect patient privacy.

I manage stress by practicing mindfulness and deep breathing exercises. I also ensure I take regular breaks to recharge and maintain focus. Communicating with colleagues and seeking support when needed helps me stay positive and effective in my role.

I was motivated by a desire to make a meaningful impact on patients' lives and to continuously improve my skills in a supportive environment. The RN Residency program offers the opportunity to bridge the gap between education and practice, allowing me to grow as a nurse while providing high-quality care.
