         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Individualization</strong> - With individualization being my strongest strength, this skill allows me to identify the unique qualities of each person, and determine how these people can work together as a team. <br><strong>Strategic</strong> - Being strategic means that I am able to quickly identify any problems that arise, and determine alternative ways to resolve the issue. <br><strong>Arranger</strong> - As an arranger, I can be very organized with my thoughts and plans, but also maintain flexibility throughout my planning. This allows me to utilize all my time and resources to be as productive as possible. <br><strong>Connectedness</strong> - I don't really believe in coincidences, because I believe that everything has a reason. In other words, things don't just happen because of chance and there is a purpose for everything. <br><strong>Relator</strong> - I enjoy forming close relationships with other people, especially with my friends and family. I believe that having a good relationship with my team is very important as well because this helps increase productivity, as well as maintaining a positive work environment.&nbsp;<br><br>The combination of these strengths and gifts have been integral in paving the path to my professional development as a leader in nursing and will help me lead a diverse and talented team of individuals.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>After researching the Eko DUO, I personally think that this device is a great medical innovation, and is very practical in a clinical setting. Some of the features that interest me is the device's ability to&nbsp; amplify sounds at least 32x, ability to visualize and record sounds heard upon auscultation, along with its noise reduction features, which can be very helpful in a typical busy healthcare setting. Although there are many great features, I do not think that this is a necessary purchase for all healthcare professionals. Advanced Practice Nurses (APRN) and possibly other advance practice providers may find this device useful in their practice, especially those who have difficulty hearing from regular stethoscopes. Overall, this device appears to have features that can benefit clinicians and lead to improved patient outcomes.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>- Expensive ($349+)<br>- Although the accuracy helps clinicians immediately diagnose abnormalities, it doesn't add to the clinicians skills.<br>- Requires higher maintenance since it is composed of multiple electrical components. Damages will likely occur and parts can be expensive to replace.<br>- The Eko DUO requires smart phone or tablet capabilities to maximize its capabilities (e.g., must download Eko Health App to visualize sounds being heard or see ECG).<br>- Although the Eko DUO has a reliable battery life and automatically turns off when not in use, it is still battery powered and clinicians must remember to charge the device when the battery is depleted.<br>- This device needs battery to operate.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>- Portable and able to detect common cardiac abnormalities and perform basic single-lead ECG readings with accuracy.<br>- Helps clinicians accurately diagnosis murmurs and atrial fibrillation immediately upon assessment.&nbsp;<br>- Amplified sounds can be recorded, transmitted to a computer/laptop, and shared with other clinicians.&nbsp;<br>- Noise reduction capabilities to reduce surrounding noises or distractions.<br>- Visual display (via smart phone or tablet) allows clinicians to see what they're listening to; also, can connect bluetooth device for wireless listening.<br>- Useful for clinicians who work in rural environments or outside of normal clinical/hospital settings that may need quick results without having to order and wait on expensive tests.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"The Eko DUO is the first FDA-cleared cardiac assessment tool that functions as an electrocardiogram (ECG) and digital stethoscope to detect early signs of heart disease and facilitate timely care and personalized disease management" (Eko, 2021). Clinicians are able to use this pocket-sized Eko DUO attachment to get immediate data regarding cardiovascular abnormalities (e.g., heart murmurs, atrial fibrillation, etc.) through a quick listen. The Eko DUO is able to amplify sounds 32x by converting acoustic sounds into electrical signals (Eko, 2021). This device was made for telemedicine and is capable of wireless listening and recording. Recordings can also be stored and shared with other clinicians (Eko, 2021; Medgadget, 2022). This technology helps clinicians be more confident in their recommendations for further interventions and treatments.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
