I am a critical thinker who does not freeze in life-threatening situations that nurses encounter in the Medical ICU on the daily basis. My ability of thinking on-the-go, vigilance, attention to detail and good assessment skills allow me to navigate through the most complex cases. Compassion and empathy that I possess make my communication with the patients and their families smooth and fulfilling for both parties. My ability to effectively and timely relay my concerns regarding treatment plans and current health situations of the patients to appropriate members of the healthcare team earned me a reputation of a knowledgeable nurse and a true patient advocate. My leadership skills and fair treatment of all members of the team allows me to provide the best outcomes for the patient through smooth collaborative work of my team. My desire to advance my knowledge and understand medical cases that I encounter in full complexity draws fellow nurses to me for further education and preceptorship. Self-evaluation and reflection are vitally important and carried out every day giving me room and direction to grow personally and professionally. I have a strong desire to become the best nurse I could possibly be – this desire drives and motivates me to better myself personally and professionally every day.
