"In my current role as an addiction nurse, I work the day shift. My responsibilities include performing initial and ongoing patient assessments, providing education and support to patients and their families, collaborating with other healthcare staff to ensure treatment plans are executed, administering medications, and updating and maintaining patient medical records. These are all duties I'm very comfortable with and would have no problem carrying out if hired as part of your team."

"A large part of my job right now as an addiction nurse includes patient and family education and support. I educate patients and their caregivers or loved ones on the disease process and help answer questions about what to expect early on in the treatment process. If a patient is closer to discharge, I provide support and education on community resources that will benefit them as they continue their recovery journey. Twice a week, I lead our various support groups which are offered for our inpatients as well as some that are open to the community. I love this aspect of my role and feel like it's meaningful and impactful to patients that we serve."

"As a recent graduate, I have not worked a formal shift outside of clinicals. In this role, I anticipate the day-to-day duties to include conducting assessments, obtaining specimens for the lab, identifying resources for patients such as behavioral health intervention or trauma counseling, facilitating treatment plans, administering medications, observing patients, obtaining vitals, and more. I have a friend who is an addiction nurse, which is how I initially became interested in this role. She has spent a great deal of time talking to me about the work that she does each day and the impact she has on patients. I feel I have what it takes to be successful in this role, and appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the duties and responsibilities."
