Provided comprehensive care to critically ill patients, including those with complex neurological and medical emergencies, while in the critical care setting.

I provided mentorship to preceptees by demonstrating effective communication strategies with patients, families, and fellow healthcare professionals. I observed the patient assessments conducted by the preceptees, and offered constructive feedback as necessary. Additionally, I instructed preceptees on hospital policies and procedures, along with the professional standards of practice. I offered guidance and support to new nurses throughout their orientation period. I actively listened to inquiries from the preceptees to ensure that I could provide clear explanations or relevant resources.
