Paul Greg Nueve | Nurses Week Profile

What are your passions away from work?

“Traveling and immersing myself in diverse cultures across the globe is a passion of mine. My journeys have taken me to places like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Thailand, and the United States. The latter was made possible by the 2023 SAGES of Clinical Services Award, an experience so enriching that I yearn to return this year. My aspirations extend to exploring more of Asia and fulfilling my dream of setting foot in European countries. In addition to my travels, I find joy in watching historical documentaries, as they offer fascinating insights into the world’s evolution.”

What does a day in your life look like at work?

"I kick off my day by taking a quick glance at my calendar to get a grip on the meetings scheduled. Then, it’s time for a friendly ‘hello’ to my team members to get the day rolling. A big chunk of my day is dedicated to ensuring our performance metrics are on track. It’s equally vital that I touch base with all my team members, lending a hand with their work-related queries and seeing if there’s anything more, I can do for them. As the day wraps up, I make sure all tasks are ticked off and eagerly anticipate another fantastic day ahead.”

What is the best part of your job?

“Truly, the highlight of my job is the interaction with diverse individuals. It’s an opportunity to comprehend varied personalities and enhance my emotional intelligence. It’s a reciprocal learning process - I glean insights from them, and they gain knowledge from me. I firmly believe that learning is an eternal journey that never ceases. This belief fuels my motivation to remain receptive to growth and feedback."

How do you incorporate Quality and Patient Safety into your work?

“In our work, it’s crucial that we take the initiative to develop systems and processes that preemptively tackle issues related to quality and patient safety. We need to keep in mind that doing things right in every aspect is key. Encouraging a culture where errors are reported, even without audits, is significant. We should be open-minded about our areas for improvement and be ready to take corrective actions. It’s our duty to consistently deliver top-notch service and adopt a comprehensive approach when it comes to quality and patient safety.."

What words would you say to a nurse after a challenging day?

“Hello, fellow nurse! You’re totally rocking it out there! You’re such an inspiration, but don’t forget to look after yourself too, OK? We’re all in this together, after all!”
