Emotional Intelligence
personality
weaknesses
The weaknesses of my personality include my shyness when it comes to meeting new employees. When I started at my clinical sites, I found it hard to talk to them because I was scared to bother them. After a few weeks of getting to know the instructors I was able to talk to the techs and not feel as though I was bothering them.
strengths
The strengths of my personality are that I am a people person so when it came to talking one on one with my patients I did not struggle. I did struggle with talking to the sonographers but that changed shortly into clinical. Another strength of my personality is that I am caring and down to earth so when it comes to my patients I truly care for their pain and well being. For example, if one of my inpatients feet were cold I searched all over the radiology floor for some socks.
changes
Within the past 18 months, my personality hasn't chnaged too much. Since I am an introvert it was hard for me to be outgoing in clinic. So, the little I have changed included me being more outgoing in clinical and with my patients.
possible action plans
A possible action plan for my personality is to try and become more of an extrovert. I have a hard time speaking with people I do not know and i'm not comfortable with. Therefore, when I start my new job in a few months I plan to work on becoming more of an extrovert with the techs and radiologists.
communication
weaknesses
The weakness of my communication skills include my inability to communicate when there is conflict in the workplace. I try to stay out of conflict to the best of my ability because conflict stresses me out.
strengths
The strengths of my communication skills include my ability to communicate adequately with my peers and professors. When it comes to clinical I am able to communicate adequately with the sonographers at my site.
changes
The changes in my communication skills during the past 18 months in this program include my ability to communicate with the fellow sonographers if I needed help or advice on a problem.
possible action plans
When it comes to communication I plan to work on my ability to communicate when there is conflict. If I endure conflict in my soon to be career I hope to be able to communicate effectively enough to avoid any unneeded stress.
self confidence
weaknesses
I am a person that has a hard time with self confidence even when it comes to my scanning skills. I have been improving a lot in this area but I still doubt myself when it comes to scanning alone. I am nervous for when I have to make decsions by myself once I graduate. I hope in the next month to work on my self confidence.
strengths
As a student in Ultrasound I have gained confidence in my scanning skills over the past 18 months. When I started I was happy if I could image the aorta and kidneys. Now I am able to do every exam alone with very little help.
changes
Some changes I have made in the last 18 months include strengthening my scannng skills to improve my confidence in scanning and learning about the pathologies and patient signs and symptoms to help gain confidence in finnding out what could be wrong with the patient.
possible action plans
When I begin my new career in a few short months I plan to gain the self confidence needed to be the best medical professional I can possibly be. That means becoming more and more confident in myscanning so I can be the best sonographer I can be. I also plan to ask the 'more seasoned' sonographers for help when needed.
conflict management
strengths
When dealing with conflict management, the only strength I have is that I am okay with the 'happy medium.' I am easy to get along with and I am easy going when there are changes.
weaknesses
I'm not very good when confict arises around me. I tend to stay out of the conflict to the best of my ability. I also don't feel comfortable when people bring me into the middle of arguments and try and make me take a side.
changes
I have made little changes on conflict managment in the past 18 months. After being in clinical and seeing conflict go on in the workplace, I have learned to stay out of the confict to the best of my ability.
possible action plans
When I enter the workplace I plan to try and stay out of the conflict to the best of my ability. It is best to keep conflict from entering the workplace because a negative workplace isn't healthy. I plan to become better at addressing problems.
