"Nursing requires constant attention to the patient experience and I done this in a number ways during my career as a nurse on a busy Med/Surg unit. To make their experience as desirable as possible, my care starts with being attentive to patients needs by asking questions and getting to know them through simple conversation. When a rapport is built quickly between us, my patients will let me know if they are hungry, uncomfortable or feeling anything else and this allows me to provide better care. On top of these things, I'm always attentive to small details like cleanliness of the room, lighting and volume on the radio or television. I never hesitate to customize my care for patients with differing needs and preferences as well."
