“Nichole is an A player. When she worked with us she jumped right into a difficult project and gave it her all. The clients loved her because of her ability to perform well under tight deadlines and adaptability. She was very self-motivated and she was always 2 steps ahead. In summary, I think her top 3 strengths are adaptability, self-motivation, and her ability to work under pressure. All very important soft skills when you are doing medical human factors work with the F500. ”

What do you do if your workload is overwhelming and you need to meet your boss's expectations and deadlines?
Before speaking with your boss about workload concerns: - Prepare a visual breakdown of your tasks, noting time/effort requirements and deadlines. - Align these tasks with the company's goals to highlight their relevance. - Discuss prioritizing tasks based on deadlines, impact, and resource needs, identifying which can be deferred, delegated, or dropped. - Approach the conversation with potential solutions, not just problems. - Ask for your boss's feedback and suggestions for effective task management and support. - Finally, propose a follow-up plan, like regular check-ins or a new task management system, to monitor and adjust your workload as needed.

Validation of the SunTech Medical Advantage Model 2 Series Automated Blood Pressure Module in Pregnancy

Objective
We sought to validate the SunTech Medical Advantage Model 2 Series with firmware LX 3.40.8 algorithm noninvasive blood pressure module in a pregnant population, including those with preeclampsia.
Study Design
Validation study of an oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure module using the ANSI/AAMI ISO 81060-2:2013 standard guidelines. Pregnant women were enrolled into three subgroups: normotensive, hypertensive without proteinuria, and preeclampsia (hypertensive with random protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 0.3 or a 24-hour urine protein > 300 mg). Two trained research nurses, blinded to each other's measurements, used a mercury sphygmomanometer to validate the module by following the protocol set forth in the ANSI/AAMI ISO 81060-2:2013 standard guidelines.
Results
A total of 45 patients, 15 in each subgroup, were included. The mean systolic and diastolic differences with standard deviations between the module and the mean observers' measurements for all participants were −2.3 ± 7.3 and 0.2 ± 6.5 mm Hg, respectively. The systolic and diastolic standard deviations of the mean of the individual patient's paired module and observers' measurements were 6.27 and 5.98 mm Hg, respectively. The test device, relative to a mercury sphygmomanometer, underestimated the systolic blood pressure in patients with preeclampsia by at least 10 mm Hg in 24% (11/45) of paired measurements.
Conclusion
The SunTech Medical Advantage Model 2 Series with firmware LX 3.40.8 algorithm noninvasive blood pressure module is validated in pregnancy, including patients with preeclampsia; however, it may underestimate systolic blood pressure measurements in patients with preeclampsia.
