I am RN with 6 years experience and never have I seen anything like this. I am a new employee at a hospital in California with majority of the nurses are Filipino. I was on orientation and I had 4 different nurses that I worked with and not one of them did an assessment didn't listen to the heart, lungs, abdomen,didn't touch the patient with a stethoscope. I couldn't believe it. How can you chart and give report to the oncoming shift that the lung sounds were clear when you didn't even listen. I am happy that I was taught better and know better. My question is in other countries are they taught different because we all know here in the US that assessing your patient is the first thing you are taught to do in school.
