Note that there were two additional GNs on the unit during the data collection period. Over one third of activities were done alone, 20.4% of activities were done in the patient room, 14.7% of interactions were with a Nurse, and 13.9% were with the Orientor. During an average 8-hour shift, the GN interacted 107 times with a patient, 77 times with a Nurse, 72 times with the Orientor, and only 14 times with a Doctor (Figure 23). 73 Other
