Give me an example of a time you improved efficiency in clinical operations. What was the outcome?

"I created a clinical rotation program at our facility for student nurses. Our team of nurse leaders would take turns mentoring nursing students and helping them through their rotations. It was such a success that we hired many of the nursing students after they graduated and passed their licensure. Building a pipeline of clinical talent by partnering with local universities helped solve our staffing shortage."

We were having a lot of issues during early morning medication pass and discovered that it was very difficult to complete with the current number of nurses that we had. We were able to create an 8-hour shift that started earlier than the day shift that provided assistance to the midnight shift during this very busy time. It was an excellent way to help the nurses and the patients at the same time and the staff loved it.
