3. 0:04and my days are usually very busy.
4. 0:07Every shift is a little different,
5. 0:09but there are many tasks that I do regularly.
6. 0:13I often move from one patient to another,
7. 0:16speak with doctors,
8. 0:17prepare medicine, and update medical records.
9. 0:21Today, I’d like to share
10. 0:22what a typical workday is like for me.
11. 0:27My morning shift starts at seven o’clock,
12. 0:30but I usually arrive about twenty minutes early.
13. 0:33I change into my uniform,
14. 0:35put my personal things in a locker,
15. 0:37and check the information board.
16. 0:40Then I join the morning handover with the other nurses.
17. 0:44During the handover,
18. 0:46the night nurse tells us about the patients in the ward.
19. 0:49We discuss their health conditions,
20. 0:51medicines, test results,
21. 0:54and any problems during the night.
22. 0:56I take notes
23. 0:57because I need to remember important details
24. 1:00about the patients under my care.
25. 1:03After the handover, I visit each patient.
26. 1:06I greet them,
27. 1:08ask how they feel, and check their vital signs.
28. 1:11I usually measure their temperature,
29. 1:13blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen level.
30. 1:17Some patients are resting quietly,
31. 1:20while others have questions or need help moving in bed.
32. 1:24At around eight o’clock,
33. 1:26I prepare the morning medication.
34. 1:28I check each patient’s name
35. 1:31and carefully check the medicine
36. 1:32against the information in the medical record.
37. 1:35Some patients take tablets,
38. 1:37while others receive medicine through an IV.
39. 1:41I also explain what the medicine is for
40. 1:43when a patient asks.
41. 1:45New patients are also admitted to the ward
42. 1:48during the day.
43. 1:49When this happens,
44. 1:51I help them settle into their rooms.
45. 1:53I ask about allergies, pain,
46. 1:56previous health problems,
47. 1:58and the medicine they usually take.
48. 2:00I also show them how to use the call button
49. 2:03and explain
50. 2:04where they can keep their personal belongings.
51. 2:07Later in the morning,
52. 2:09doctors visit the ward and check the patients.
53. 2:12I often join them during their rounds.
54. 2:15I provide information,
55. 2:17answer questions, and write down any new instructions.
56. 2:21Afterward, I may prepare a patient for an X-ray,
57. 2:24a blood test, or another medical procedure.
58. 2:29I normally plan to have lunch around noon,
59. 2:32but my break does not always begin on time.
60. 2:35A patient may suddenly feel dizzy,
61. 2:37have a fever, or need help.
62. 2:40When the ward becomes calmer,
63. 2:42I eat a simple lunch in the staff room.
64. 2:45My break is usually short,
65. 2:47but it gives me a little time to sit down.
66. 2:51In the afternoon,
67. 2:52I continue checking patients and giving medicine.
68. 2:56I may change a wound dressing,
69. 2:58speak with family members,
70. 3:00answer phone calls, and update patient records.
71. 3:04If a patient is ready to leave the hospital,
72. 3:06I help prepare the discharge papers
73. 3:09and check that the person receives
74. 3:10the correct medicine and instructions.
75. 3:14Before my shift ends,
76. 3:16I visit my patients one final time.
77. 3:19I make sure they are comfortable
78. 3:21and that all important tasks are complete.
79. 3:24Then I hand over to the next nurse
80. 3:27and explain any changes or concerns.
81. 3:31When I leave the hospital,
82. 3:33I am usually tired and ready to rest.
83. 3:36My workday is full of many different responsibilities,
84. 3:39and I rarely stay in one place for long.
85. 3:43That is what a typical
86. 3:44busy day as a nurse looks like for me.

94. 5:10Mia checked each patient’s vital signs in the morning.
95. 5:22A medical record is a file that keeps information about a patient’s health, treatment, and medicine.
96. 5:30Mia updated the patient’s medical record after checking his temperature.
97. 5:42Tablets are small solid pieces of medicine that people swallow.
98. 5:48The doctor told the patient to take two tablets after breakfast.
99. 6:00To admit a patient means to let them stay in a hospital for treatment.
100. 6:06A new patient was admitted to the ward in the afternoon.
101. 6:19Discharge papers are documents a patient receives when they leave the hospital after treatment.
102. 6:26Mia prepared the discharge papers before the patient went home.
