It is reported that problem solving is one of the greatest strengths a
nurse can have (Wei et al., 2019). This is one of my strengths because
I am good at finding solutions to difficult or complex issues using either

because people’s lives are on my hands. In regard to time
management skills, the ability to understand which patient needs
attention immediately, which one can wait for a while, which one
