"As a nurse, I am accountable to my patients per the professional code of conduct. For me to do that, I need to be accountable to myself and my coworkers as well. I take my health and wellness seriously so I can bring my best self to the job. I enjoy hobbies like crocheting, which is very peaceful and good for my mental health. I enjoy family time. I organize my week with this awesome planner and prioritize Sunday meal prep so I don't eat junk. Every couple of days, I schedule three or four hours of downtime so I have time to enjoy or handle urgent tasks that come up. I cannot plan everything, but I do my best to find a balance so I can bring my best to the job. I bring my brightest and healthiest self to work and use that as a platform to build an organized and productive day for my patients and coworkers."

"I have a shift 'cheat sheet' that I developed based on the cheat sheets of two different preceptors I worked with. These allow me to ensure I've done all of my assessments, given all medications and treatments, and that all of my charting is complete before the end of a shift."
