A nurse is often required to do skills that could injure or kill a person if not done correctly. Some examples include: cleaning the airway of a patient, running a catheter into the bladder, running pic line (another type of tubing) to the heart, making sure they are giving the correct medication and at the correct dosage, and knowing when to call for help from another nurse or doctor when a patient is worsening (and picking up on the signs that they are worsening).
