I think for any position, one of the most important things that you can do to excel is to be a leader. Be an advocate for your patients. Sometimes your patients don't have the family that they need to get what they need in their care, and you can be that person to help them get exactly what they need. I also think that you could be a part of different committees that are available in your facility, and it really helps you to get involved and be able to, again, be the kind of leader that you want to be.
