Feedback:
Many residential treatment facilities have a licensed nurse on duty for at least part of the day. One of the functions of the nurse in such a setting is to supervise the setup and administration of medications and provide first aid care. In an ambulatory surgery clinic, the nurse would provide client education about procedures; in hospice, nurses provide pain medication and symptom relief. Working in private duty gives a nurse the opportunity to practice basic bedside and teaching skills and to meet one client's total needs.
