Tell Us About Yourself


, a registered nurse for almost 15 years.
Been employed in this institution for 7 accumulated years.
Took my MAN major in medical-surgical nursing at USA with 12 units earned.
Then MAN major in nsg administration at WVSU and currently working on my thesis writing.
Been a clinical instructor for 2 years.
Been a nurse manager for 4 years in a busy, JCI accredited and modern health facility aboard.
A critical care trained nurse and current assigned as NURSE II.
My primary focus is the provision of compassionate care to all Ilonggo clients. (It is because I’ve shown that we are far behind the health care
system aboard. I’m envy of their health care privileges. I realize that if given a chance, we could also embrace that privilege that was given to
them).

2. What Made You Choose Nursing as Your Career?


I was really impressed by how well nurses cared for sick people in the hospital. Especially my aunt. But I developed a great interest in nursing
after I work abroad. The satisfaction I felt after taking care of the sick, made me choose nursing as my career. To date, I get really satisfied to
see patients recover and move on with their lives. It makes my heart more pounder when patient saying thank you for taking care of me.

to patients. I possess good communication and leadership skills that are vital in leading nurses to offer satisfactory nursing care. I have these

to remain productive. I also listen to their needs and concerns and address them accordingly.

7. What Great Challenge Do You Expect to Face?


As a nurse manager, I anticipate a situation where doctors don’t cooperate with nurses that support them. When that happens, a lot of things
can go wrong, from communication breakdown to wrong drug administration. But rest assured that I will handle the challenge effectively. I will
ensure communication channels are up and running at all times. I will also promote an environment where physicians and nurses work
together to offer quality services.

As a nurse manager, I will be adopting and implementing innovative nursing practices to enhance the unit. I will ensure effective support of the
nursing staff by counseling, guiding, coaching, and disciplining them. Other duties will include selecting and recruiting nursing staff, maintaining
nursing guidelines by updating procedures and guidelines, identifying service requirements, and managing nursing operations.

9. How Do You Work Under Pressure?


In my current role as a nurse 2, we at times have abrupt surges of patients at the unit that need critical care. I have developed strategies to
handle sudden surges. For example, I make sure to have at least 2 nurses on duty even though were understaff to cater patient, in time of
exigency we extend our duties days when needed. Besides, I prioritize my work and do multi-task duties bedside care and managerial duties to
ensure we meet our targets in the unit.

If a conflict between two employees or teams arises, I will leverage my conflict resolution techniques to resolve it. I will listen to each person
or team to know the crux/ core or bottom line of the problem. Then, I will use facts to show who is right or wrong or help them agree on a
common ground that benefits everyone.

12. What Action Would You Take If You Have An Uncooperative Doctor?
I would begin by politely yet firmly asking the uncooperative or rude doctor to mend his ways. If the doctor doesn’t change, I would report him
to the appropriate higher office for further action.

13. What Would You Do If You Had an Underperforming Nurse?


I would begin by talking to the nurse to understand the problem. If underperformance is caused by carelessness or complacency, I would issue
a warning and make the nurse understand that such acts won’t be tolerated. Otherwise, I would create a performance enhancement program
and implement it to help the nurse enhance performance.

14. If You Saw an Office Staff Misbehaving With Patients, What Action Would You Take?
First, I would intervene and ask for an explanation from the staff. I would then let the employee know that unprofessional acts can’t be
tolerated. Next, I would report the worker to the relevant office so that appropriate disciplinary action is taken.

Seven years ago, I was a registered nurse in a health facility where I dealt with different patients every day. Not all were cooperative. Some
would refuse to follow dietary restrictions, talk to nurses, or take medicine. I handled such cases by trying to understand their suffering and
using a professional and firm approach.

17. What Do You Aim to Achieve Through This Job?
