However, medication errors continue to cripple the provision of quality care and calling for close attention to how the issue can be addressed to promote patient safety and improve the quality of practices within healthcare institutions.

Even though I have successfully been able to overcome conflicts related to the industry versus inferiority, there are some cases where I still seek approval from others, especially in the learning process. Once I am able to accomplish the goals that I have set, I will be able to develop more, and this will bring in personal satisfaction.
