Ward Nurse
You care for admitted patients on the ward: recording observations, running rounds, and administering medication at the bedside.
What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”As a ward nurse, you can:
- Read the ward — board, beds, observations, MAR, rounds.
- Provide nursing care — record observations and complete round tasks.
- Administer medication — give, hold or refuse doses on the MAR.
The MAR is the Medication Administration Record. EWS/NEWS2 is the Early Warning Score that Veona computes from your observations.
What you cannot do
Section titled “What you cannot do”You do not admit, transfer or discharge patients (those are held by the ward consultant), and you do not prescribe. You administer medication that a clinician prescribed.

A typical day
