Explanation:
The position of supervisor (nurse) can bring some more delicate situations to the day. Getting the assistant's attention is one of them and should be done with caution. A harmonious and direct conversation will have good results in the company and softens internal conflicts. So the best way to do that is asking her if she had some problems of doing her work.
It is also important to hear the employee version. She should probably have a justification and judgment of the situation should come from your observation. If the employee already had a history of apology, don't give so much credit. However, if the assistent is a person who always stays in line, there is no need to be too hard.
