When prioritizing patient care as a Field Registered Nurse, I first assess the urgency of patient needs, such as any emergency situations, and organize my schedule accordingly. Regular communication with interdisciplinary teams and reviewing patient updates allows me to make informed decisions on care priorities while ensuring every patient’s needs are met expeditiously.

In a previous role, I managed a patient with complex health issues requiring multiple medications and therapies. I coordinated with the patient's family and healthcare team to develop a comprehensive care plan, ensuring compliance with medication schedules while adapting to unexpected changes in the patient's condition. This experience strengthened my case management skills and highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration.

To ensure effective communication with patients' families, I prioritize establishing trust and openness from the first visit. I regularly update them on care plans, listen to their concerns, and encourage their involvement in decision-making. This approach not only empowers families but also fosters a supportive care environment.

I have extensive experience using Home Care Home Base (HCHB) EMR for documentation and patient management. I find that an effective EMR allows for streamlined communication, accurate record-keeping, and quicker access to patient information, all of which are crucial when providing home care.

In the home care environment, I remain calm and follow established protocols for emergencies. This includes quickly assessing the situation, contacting emergency services if necessary, and communicating with the patient’s family to ensure everyone is informed. Preparedness and training help me respond effectively while keeping patient safety as a priority.

For effective patient education in home care, I utilize clear and simple language, visual aids, and hands-on demonstrations. I ensure that I check for understanding by asking patients to explain back any instructions, and I provide written resources for patients and families to refer to after my visit.

I actively solicit feedback from patients and their families during visits, encouraging them to share their perspectives and suggestions about care. By documenting this feedback and discussing it in follow-up visits with the healthcare team, I can help refine care plans to better address individual needs and preferences.

While caring for a patient with complex needs, I collaborated closely with a physician, physical therapist, and social worker. We held regular case conferencing meetings where we reviewed the patient’s progress and adjusted the care plan accordingly. This collaborative approach not only improved patient outcomes but also enhanced my teamwork skills.

What I enjoy most about being a Field Registered Nurse is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients and families while making a direct impact on their health and well-being. The variety of cases keeps my work engaging, and I value the trust that patients place in me during their care journey.

I maintain my skills and knowledge in nursing by participating in continuous education opportunities, attending workshops, and staying updated with the latest evidence-based practices through reputable nursing journals and online resources. Networking with fellow healthcare professionals also helps me stay informed regarding best practices.
