Skills of a Leader Called Me
Today I took the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS). This specific survey talks about the 24 strengths that you have as a leader and places them in order of strongest to weakest. My top 3 strengths are Honesty, Perseverance, and Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence. My bottom 3 strengths are Self- Regulation, Spirituality and Humility. I didn’t really learn all to much, to be honest I don’t take much from these kinds of activities because they all vary from test to test, one can tell you that you have a wide range of perspective and another telling you to work on your perspective. AS far as what it told me, I can’t say I agree with it because I feel like I have stronger strengths than what was told to me.

Values in Action Inventory of Strengths
This week I had the opportunity to take the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS). I found that the test rated my top twenty four strengths. My number one strength was perspective, two Hope, curiosity, Bravery, and leadership. These are the top five but so on and so on, the bottom four include prudence, forgiveness, creativity, and honesty. I learned more about the description of what these qualities are. I knew about all twenty four qualities but just got another insight from another perspective. Based off my own qualities and what I learned out of humbleness I agree. I say this because perspective being number one, aside from the other twenty three is by far my greatest strength. Though the test may have been bias or not I feel anyone can hold those 24 qualities depending on who they are. This test helped me build on my perspective.
Hello Hemodynamics…
Hemodynamics seems really complicated with the lines, connections, wires, transducers, and optical cables. However, remember you usually do some level of hemodynamic monitoring on all patients when you evaluate vital signs, urine output, and hydration status.
This month is dedicated to cardiac health and as you can see I have updated our banner and colors to reflect that! As we talk more about cardiovascular disease and assessment, and after this week’s simulation, I am sure you will all remember key elements to ask for new complaints of shortness of breath or chest pain.
Have a great weekend!
