Commitments

Relevance

At work, I will remind myself to ask "why". Too many times, I find myself performing nursing skills simply because they're ordered and I'm not putting together the whole picture. I've never compromised patient safety, but I could be doing more in providing adequate care. 

I commit to active driving and not being distracted by objects or persons in the car with me.

I will continue to follow safety protocols at work and I will stay focused during my driving time.
