Sandra Robles.

Hello Professor and Classmates,

My name is Sandra Robles. I’m from Puerto Rico. I like to watch movies and go ride with my family. I work in operating room for 22 years, I’m work in Jackson Medical Center, currently Circulating Nurse in the Operating Room doing Trauma/Bariatric/General surgeries and I would like to continue in this area assisting the Surgeon during procedures. I would like to learn about policies, research, analysis, how you have priorities, to grow professionally as a FNP. In 5 years I visualize me studying my PhD.

My greatest weakness is always to be more than I give. I overprotect my work a lot and take too much care of my patients. Mostly I work directly with overweight patients, who feel a lot of confusion and fear, I give moral support and I serve as an example, that bariatric surgery is the best decision they can have for both their physical and emotional health. Patient safety is first.

In my 22 years as a nurse I have never had a conflict with any co-worker, let alone a patient. I feel very capable and professional to be able to do things responsibly without having to make mistakes or have to mourn anything. For me my patients come first, I provide them with a clean and safe environment. With my co-workers they have all the help and confidence they need. I like to work as a team. But conflicts often happen in every area of work, if they always happened to notify the supervisor so that the problem does not get any further.
