Patient centered care, team centered nursing staff.

A typical day at work is to pick up the assignment and huddle for 15 minutes with the nursing staff of the current events or issues. A charge report is provided of the condition of the each patients, overview of the medical surgical floor and the nursing staff. I have learned how to be an effective leader as well as setting an example. The hardest part of the job is that I want everyone to get along and take initiatives without being told what to do. My co-workers are very loyal, kind, and respectful. The most enjoyable part of the job is to see that majority of the nursing staff take ownership of their unit which makes my job a lot easier as charge nurse.

An Average Day At A Not-So-Average Health Care Facility

An average work day began with a patient report and then assignments were given. Assisted patients and waited for doctors orders; checked patient labs and checked for any medication that needed to be given to them. I would learn about new medications and became very familiar with unfamiliar ones through research. Capable management was available to to assist the staff with any needs that arose. My relationship with my coworkers was great and easy; teamwork was of the highest priority between my coworkers and I, with all of us believing shared responsibility to be the best path towards company success. We enjoyed helping each other. The hardest part of the job was when an emergency arose, as it meant that we had to adapt to the emergency and still complete our other assigned duties. The most enjoyable part of the job, then was when a patient overcame an illness, or got better after going through a rough time.
