" As a nurse on a busy Med/Surg unit, I think my overall organization and dedication to stick to a schedule enable me to be error free in my work. With my patients, I stick to an hour rounding schedule to ensure I see each patient hourly and communicate with them. I ask the patient questions on their comfort level and pain level every interaction I have with them. I set aside time for patient documentation and preparing for medication pass to avoid any errors on that end of things. Overall organization on all these duties and planning ahead for time help me to ensure that I provide error free care to my patients like they deserve."
