No matter what area or department you work in at Cleveland Clinic, you will have an opportunity to be an advocate for your patients. Consider ways you advocate for your patients or observed nurses championing for patients during your time as a student in clinicals. Aspects like patient education, document integrity, protecting patient rights, giving patients a voice or being a voice for patients, ensuring safety, and connecting patients to community resources are all great examples to speak to!

"One of my favorite aspects of nursing is patient advocacy. I play a major role in their treatment, so I ensure the patient has a voice and speak up for them when necessary. This could be related to concerns with medication, questions to the doctor, or even helping connect them to necessary community resources. During my clinicals, I focused on this skill, and I plan to do the same at Cleveland Clinic."

"As an RN, I advocate for my patients in many ways. I always protect patient rights relating to privacy and care and provide education on topics like pain management, diabetes care, medication management, etc. I also advocate for patient safety by ensuring staff adheres to policies and practices relating to fall risks and using appropriate equipment like gait belts when necessary."
