When faced with difficult situations, I focus on patient-centered communication. I assess the situation calmly, listen to the patient's concerns, and collaborate with the healthcare team to find a solution. My goal is to provide reassurance and ensure that the patient's needs are met.

In my previous roles, I conducted comprehensive patient assessments, including monitoring vital signs, evaluating overall health status, and identifying changes in patient conditions. This experience has equipped me to provide effective care while addressing patients' unique needs.

To ensure medication safety, I follow a detailed protocol that includes verifying the patient’s identity, reviewing the prescribed medication plan, double-checking dosages, and educating the patient about their medications. This methodical approach minimizes the risk of medication errors.
