"One of the foundational principles to successful healthcare is teamwork. I need to be a strong team member to other nurses, various healthcare disciplines, patients, and families. My approach to teamwork includes supporting my leadership team and trusting them to make the best decisions possible. I follow the groups' decisions unless they fail to align with my morals or healthcare philosophy. I do not take any conflict personally, and I always view a crisis as an opportunity to rise. Sometimes, nursing brings a chaotic work environment with opinions and viewpoints coming from many directions. As an avid team player, I make it my business to know the scope of my practice and practice within those boundaries when things are busy on the floor."
