Summary
I have mainly worked in patient care-based settings, but I believe all of my past workplace experiences have contributed to compassion, teamwork, communication, and my ability to handle busy situations and stay organized. When I transitioned from a home health setting to a hospital setting, it improved my ability to handle stressful situations and stay organized as my patient load grew.
