Problem: Reword Your experience highlights the importance of flexibility and adaptability in leadership roles. When faced with staffing shortages, your quick thinking and ability to delegate tasks ensured that patient care was not compromised. I have found that in similar situations, clear communication and a calm demeanor can make a significant difference. By reaching out to your DON, MDS nurse, and admissions nurse, you not only addressed the immediate staffing issue but also demonstrated the value of teamwork and collaboration. This approach not only resolves the crisis but also fosters a supportive work environment where team members feel valued and willing to step in when needed.
