For me, I would say my greatest strength is my attention to detail. An example of how I'm detail-oriented is through my med passes which are so important during all med passes but especially in kids because everything is weight-based. The first thing I do when I help with admissions is making sure I get a very accurate weight because that guides all their dosing for the stay and I make sure to triple check all my calculations and I check the dose even if the pharmacy doses it. Whenever I give medication, if I question that it may be too much I always double-check what the normal dosage is and if I need to recalculate the dosage, and if I still am questioning that it may be too much I message the pharmacy. Another way I display my attention to detail is I come into shift early, write out key information about my patients so I have some information about them prior to receiving the report, I write out what meds they have due, and then I sit down and kind of plan out my tasks such as what patient I will see first, and then I make sure I have all meds pulled before I go into the room and make sure I have any supplies I need such as if I need to perform a dressing change I look at the order and see what supplies I will need.
