Summary
Working as an Emergency Room (ER) Tech has provided me with valuable hands-on experience that will support my transition into a new graduate nurse role in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). In the ER, I developed strong assessment and prioritization skills, learned to remain calm and focused in high-pressure situations, and became confident in performing critical interventions while working within a multidisciplinary team. These experiences have strengthened my ability to recognize subtle changes in patient condition, respond quickly and effectively, and provide compassionate, family-centered care. I am excited to apply these skills in the NICU setting, where attention to detail, patience, and gentle, precise care are essential for supporting vulnerable newborns and their families.
