We are in a hospital and would like some ideas for the skills assessment stations. We've used in the past: bed making, sterilizing equipment and tools, dishwashing, stocking, cleaning tables, taking trash out, folding linens, etc. Anybody have any other ideas? Would like to incorporate other stations and I'm all out of ideas!! Thanks!

We have also have a waiting table where the intern can go if they finish a task early before we switch. This shows a lot on how the interns react to waiting. We also have a internview station.

Guest 4/13/2021	Guest Hi - we do a stores stocking exercise - You need: A cardboard box and box tape About 15-20 small items from a stores cupboard where you are based - we are in a hospital and used empty specimen pots, vomit tubs, individual dressings, some empty boxes of medication, 2 boxes of tissues, and a number of other small items An empty cupboard or shelves, or a trolley or bench could work Laminated pictures or names of all the items - stick to shelves with bluetack or similar Scissors/blade to open box Fill the box with all items and tape it closed for each person. Instruction is initially very basic, something like 'Please put the stores from this box into the store cupboard/shelf/bench, and make sure they are in the correct places'. They have the option of using scissors/blade to open the box or asking for help. They then have to put each item in the correct place by matching the item to the picture/name tag of the item on the shelf. Complications - there is an extra picture and an extra item, they don't match what is there. Some of the item's tags are photographs, some are words. We learn a lot, particularly by if/how they ask for help!
