Additional comments I recall the many long, hard hours of clinical rotation in the old hospital. We had no high tech monitors. We were taught to "see" what was happening to the patient - listen to the patient and respond appropriately. We were given responsibility for charge duty on all 3 shifts and held accountable for our judgment. Pride was instilled in each student as you advanced and earned stripes on your nursing cap. I loved my patient interactions.
