  What I do every day
I work in a community hospital, where I answer patients’ call bells, make beds, serve meals, and bathe and dress patients. At the beginning of my shift, I walk from room to room taking the temperature of patients and checking their pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. I report any changes in a patient’s condition to the nursing or medical staff.
