You have been working at a GP Clinic for five months as a new graduate nurse.
You are working an afternoon shift and the clinic closes at 2100 hours. Today has been very busy but the last patient was seen at 2015 hours, so you are enjoying a quiet moment to file some documents on.
Your colleague Rita (Registered Nurse) has been at the GP clinic for 20 years through its evolution from regular GP practice to super clinic and is on one of the computers. She is respected for her extensive knowledge base and is highly regarded by the medical staff.
As you walk behind her, you know that she has a patient’s blood results open. Rita says to you, ‘I saw my ex’s new partner at pathology last week, and I want to know what’s wrong with her’.
