Life is about learning, transitioning, and adapting to different life situations. I do have strengths and weaknesses that shape my life and make me who I am. I believe that compassion is one of my strongest fortes; this has allowed me to be an effective patient advocate and was my biggest contributing factors of why I became an empathetic nurse. My determination and bravery are another set of my strengths that aided me to complete the RN-BSN program at NYCCT. Lastly, my interpersonal skills allowed me to be fully involved in the program while interacting with the faculty, students, and my patients. All these strengths are helping me to provide effective patient care and be a good team member in the interdisciplinary treatment team.
