Motivation/Insight Question 18
Do you believe you have good time management skills, and how would this benefit you in a Nursing career?
Excellent Candidate Response
I feel I do have good time management skills. For example, I am currently a Science tutor, teaching AS and A2 level students weekly. As I have many students, often successively, it is important that I organise my time effectively, to ensure that each student receives the allotted time required. To achieve this, I plan the lessons beforehand, assigning each activity or topic a certain amount of time. I will also leave a five-minute period at the end, should there be any delays, or a particular activity take longer than expected.
I believe time management is important in Nursing, both during training and on the wards. During a typical shift, there will be a volume of patients to attend to, and especially in general nursing patients will be situated all around the hospital. Therefore, ensuring that you organise your time to see all patients, and carry out the necessary examinations or procedures, is vital.
