When you are in clinicals what issues do you see when you are observing might be issues? Nurse-to-pt ratios would be a good one as would looking at the educational backgrounds of nurses (ie BSN prepared) in relation to pt outcomes.

What about use of PPE? Sadly that was an issue in my last rotation.
