Reflection:

 From the 3 job postings you found, choose one job you want the most. Why does this job appeal to you the most? What skills do you already possess that would help you to get this job? Identify skills you are still building or need more experience performing. Discuss options to sharpen or learn the skills you will need to gain.  

I have chosen the Emergency Room RN position because of the exciting opportunity to assist with emergency care, directly interact with patients and families, and work with a team of healthcare professionals. Critical thinking is key in the ER, and I am developing this skill through my coursework, clinical experiences, and EMT class. I also have strong communication skills, which are essential for working with patients, families, and team members, especially in emergency situations. However, I recognize that I still need more experience. While I have clinical experience, working in an emergency care setting requires more hands-on practice, especially under stress. To improve, I plan to seek internships or volunteer opportunities in ER departments to gain real-time experience in critical care. I also hope to shadow emergency room nurses to learn more. Participating in simulation labs or workshops will help me make faster decisions and develop technical skills in a controlled setting. By gaining these skills, I will be better prepared to take on the responsibilities of an ER RN and thrive in the fast-paced environment of the emergency room.
