As the complexities of caring for a patient in our healthcare system increases there is a
need to reflect on our experiences and to improve our own critical thinking processes,
our delegation skills and our ability to be resilient to the constant changes and demands
of the setting. As a registered nurse these attributes are important both personally and
professionally for our health, the teams in which we work and for quality outcomes of
our patients.
