Professionalinterests
My professional interests lie in the field of emergency nursing and urgent care. I can apply my personal strengths to maintain calm in critical situations and provide help to people in need. In general, the ER sector requires multiple interpersonal competencies from nurses, and I find this approach suitable for my professional needs. I also have a profound interest in general medicine and academic research, in particular. The focus on evidence-based practices is gradually becoming more pronounced in nursing, and I believe that practitioners must continually acquire new skills to stay competitive in the market. A large variety of interests stimulates professional growth, enabling further improvement.
