To handle stress in a busy telemetry unit, it's important to prioritize tasks effectively and remain calm under pressure. I practice deep breathing techniques and time management skills to maintain focus, ensuring that patient care remains my top priority.

I was drawn to the New Grad RN role at Intermountain Health because of the comprehensive training provided through the nurse residency program, and the organization's commitment to patient-centered care aligns with my own values and goals as a nurse.

In one instance during my clinical training, I noticed a patient showing signs of distress that were not being fully addressed. I communicated my observations to the supervising RN, advocating for a reassessment of the patient’s condition which led to timely medical intervention, highlighting the importance of advocacy in nursing.

My long-term career goal as a nurse is to specialize in telemetry and eventually pursue further education to become a Nurse Practitioner. I believe that continuous learning will help me provide better care and make a greater impact on patients' lives.

During a busy shift, I prioritize patient care by quickly assessing the needs of each patient and organizing tasks based on urgency. Communication with the healthcare team is also critical in ensuring that everyone is aware of patient priorities.

I believe the most challenging aspect of nursing can be managing emotional stress, especially when dealing with critically ill patients or their families. Building a support network and practicing self-care are vital strategies I utilize to cope with such challenges.

In the event of a disagreement with a colleague about patient care, I would approach the situation professionally by discussing my concerns openly and reviewing the patient’s plan of care collaboratively. It's crucial to focus on what is best for the patient.

Essential skills for a New Grad RN include strong communication abilities, clinical judgment, empathy, and adaptability. These skills not only lead to effective patient interactions but also foster teamwork and collaboration within the healthcare environment.

Continuing education is vital for nurses as it ensures we stay updated on the latest practices, technologies, and evidence-based care, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and professional growth in our nursing careers.

I can contribute to the team environment at Intermountain Health by actively participating in collaborative efforts, sharing knowledge, and being a reliable team player who always puts forth the best efforts to foster an inclusive and supportive atmosphere.
