The transition from a surgical focus to more a medical, rehabilitation, palliative care focus has had challenges for the Nurses attending to patient care. |
They have responded with enthusiasm and professionalism to the challenge; learning many new skills and providing an environment that supports their patient's journey. Nursing documentation previously developed for surgical services have been redeveloped with a medical focus.
An example is new Admission Assessments and Nursing Care Plans that have been developed by the Nurses to enhance the nursing care given. |
