It’s hard not to just describe myself here, if I’m being honest with you. That’s because I’ve worked really hard to understand what it takes to do well in this position, though, not because I think I’m overly special. A good endoscopy nurse needs to be able to talk a patient through the steps in the procedure, to communicate well with the doctor and call attention to areas of concern, and to make sure that everything is ready to come together for the procedure, from equipment to patient education to paperwork. Finding someone with strong communication skills in face-to-face settings and on paper is, I think, a key part of that.
