Summary

I provide positive experiences for pediatric patients and their families with an emphasis on using the nursing process to gauge the patient's condition and progress during their treatment. My experience with direct patient care has helped to refine my nursing skills to give and direct care in the best interest of the patient. My leadership and critical thinking skills have developed tenfold and have allowed me to notice acute changes in patient condition, advocate, and aid in positive outcomes by collaborating with the healthcare team. I am confident in de-escalating tense situations, prioritizing tasks, and using critical thinking to navigate challenges I face as a pediatric nurse all while providing excellent patient care.
