SWOT Analysis and BEEF planning
APPENDIX 3
What are my Strengths?Organizational and planning skillsI am able to prioritizes schedules tasks and responsibilities to provide proper care to all patients. Also, been able to maintains accurate and timely patient documentation. Communication Skills I make sure I have understood the conversation by asking relevant questions. When I communicate with patients and their families I adapt my style of communicating to meet their specific needs. I am able to articulate complex information clearly and in simpler terms if necessary. I ensure we have a shared understanding of the conversation by asking questions to confirm that they are clear about what has been discussed.
Empathy and Compassion Another area of strength that is necessary for success as a student nurse is to possess empathy and compassion for others. No matter where I may choose to work as a nurse, you will encounter patients experiencing a wide range of physical or psychological issues. Because of this, I will need to interact with patients who may display a variety of emotions including fear, anxiety, depression, resentment and anger. To interact with them effectively and help them cope, I need to show them you care, try to understand them and help them to cope with their concerns Problem-solving skills Problem-solving skills assist in recognizing a problem’s origin and identifying the appropriate solution within a reasonable time. As a student nurse, I require problem-solving skills, as my days can be full of surprises, and it’s essential that I can help deflate stressful situations. For example, they may notice a change in a patient or their patient’s behaviour and employ my skills to identify the potential cause. ENDURANCE This skill involves my ability to withstand difficult physical conditions for reasonable periods. Students require endurance, as they commonly remain standing for up to 12 hours a day. Possessing the ability to work under these conditions and maintain a positive attitude is an essential strength for a nurse.
