In consideration of the <Position> position, please note that my core competencies are far-reaching. My background includes leading other healthcare professionals in the efficient facilitation of daily tasks and ensuring clients receive premium service and care. Additionally, maintaining accurate and up-to-date case management files, summaries, and reports has been a significant portion of my regular duties. It is often my responsibility to meet subordinate personnel s performance or behavior with recommendations of disciplinary actions

 

Further, my expertise includes training other nurses leveraging my ability to quickly respond to any deficiencies in performance in order to reduce any risk of mistake or injury to a patient. As a result, instances of mishap are non-existent under my watch. Both because I am a dynamic leader and because I train others to be dynamic leaders as well. Team building and cohesiveness among myself and my peers, leads to a great environment where everyone is free to perform at an optimal level.
