The Full Scope of Nurses' Work at the Bedside

SUMMARY: 
This episode unpacks what bedside nurses actually do—and why so much of that high‑stakes, outcomes‑driving work is invisible in traditional hospital metrics. Using Carr and Vollman’s “The Full Scope of Nurses’ Work in Hospitals” as our springboard, we explore nurse surveillance, anticipatory prevention, care coordination, and the cognitive, emotional, and technical work that underpins safer care—plus how to measure it and support it in practice. Reference points include landmark staffing-outcomes research and documentation burden evidence that shape daily bedside reality.
