After reviewing these skills and doing a self-assessment, I feel that I have demonstrated strength in communication and relationship building while working as part of an interdisciplinary team for the past 6 years. Another strength is knowledge of the healthcare environment, throughout my nursing career I have consistently attended symposiums and conferences to stay up to date on current clinical guidelines. I am also part of the Developmental Disabilities Nursing Association, which is my specialty in my job. Professionalism, which AONE explains as personal and professional responsibility, ethical issues and advocacy (AONE, 2015) is another area in which I have had a lot of experience. Working with people with intellectual disabilities has made me learn a lot about advocating for those who have no voice and many times there are ethical dilemmas that we are forced to face
