I will continue to keep myself educated with the latest updates in nursing to ensure the care I am giving my patients is based on the latest research. To live out my philosophy of nursing, every day I must remember this about the following: 1. My patients are people with thoughts, feelings and fears. I will set my personal beliefs and bias aside and treat each patient with dignity, respect and empathy. I will provide the best care possible to every patient regardless of education level, race, gender, religious or cultural beliefs.
A people skill is very important to have in the medical office because you have to deal with patients every day. While having good people skill you have to learn how to communicate throughout the office to be able to get along well with your colleagues. For example, if a patient calls in the office complaining about a bill they have just received from there office and the patient will take it out on the Medical Administrative Assistant who answers the phone. A Medical Administrative Assistant has to have good people skills to handle a situation like this and not get you angry at the patient. Knowing how to communicate with the patient in a low calm tone of voice will help calm the patient down.
