This is very interesting Nicole as in hospitals, it is the nurse that a patient will likely see the most - the doctor comes round maybe once or twice a day. Therefore, the interaction and relationship between nurse and patient is crucial to the welfare and, as you said, the treatment of the patient - if the nurses miss a cue that the patient is in distress. Thus, approriate and adequate communication skills are key!
