"Looking back on my career as an RN, it's been full of change and I am confident in saying that I've always adapted quickly and with a positive attitude. Whether it has been the implementation of a new EHR system or new equipment in the hospital, the willingness to learn and grow is always huge. A couple of years ago, the small organization I was a part of was bought out by a larger health care organization. It was a tough transition because it impacted personal lives in the form of new benefits and compensation, but I kept an open mind when others on my team did not. I took the time to talk with new leaders and learn how changes were going to positively impact things. I know that in this public arena, change will be a constant and I know that my positive outlook and ability to adapt will bode well for me as a community nurse."
