Some of My Clinical Experiences:
1. I have clinical experience at the hospital when the nurse used radio communication and called the nursing assistant to the patient′s room.
2. Then, the nurse delegated the nursing assistant (personal care) to change the brief and take vital signs.
3. I also saw when the nurse in charge delegated the nurses to do their work in the morning as orientation (before they start their shift).
4. I saw when the nurse was down on her knees on the floor equal to the patient, made eye contact, and politely talked to the patient.
5. I saw when the nurse administered medications.
6. I saw when the provider ordered the nurse to collect urine samples from the patient.
PLEASE use at least one of the sources I attached.
