I Prioritize my work. I stay organized with personal checklists, flowcharts, or spreadsheets, and multi-task whenever possible. Utilize nursing skills of anticipation, delegation, and supervision to this end. I focus on active listening—observing non-verbal cues from my patient as well as hearing their spoken words. Understanding, respecting and accommodating my patients’ preferences and needs with regards to their individual beliefs, customs and practices is part of both my planning and delivery of nursing care.
