"My biggest weakness has to be that I take on too many projects at once. While being involved and participating in various work projects is fun and challenges me as an LPN, I tend to take on several things and then leave some projects unfinished. I have begun to limit myself to only taking on a few projects at a time so that I can devote the necessary time to staying on task."

"I think one of my biggest weaknesses is that I can get lost in providing too many unnecessary details in my documentation. I recognize this in myself and am sure to assess, before I do my charting, if the detail is critical to include. Since implementing this thinking, my speed of work has increased quite significantly."
