Nursing (Registered Nurse)
Your 8-hour shift on a medical ward begins with a handover briefing — you receive care of 10 patients, administering morning medications, monitoring vitals, changing dressings on a diabetic foot wound, and inserting a nasogastric tube for a stroke patient with dysphagia. You respond to a patient's sudden desaturation event with prompt assessment and oxygen therapy while alerting the duty doctor, and document all nursing interventions in the hospital information system.
