These data underlie the analyses reported in the  paper: Dall’Ora, C., Hope, J., Bridges, J., Griffiths, P., 2020. Development and validation of a methodology to measure the time taken by hospital nurses to make vital signs observations. Nurse Researcher, url: 10.7748/nr.2020.e1716. 
These data were collected during observer training in preparation for an observational study of nurses vital signs collection. The results were used to determine inter-rater reliability and this to judge the success of training. The data was gathered anonymously in respect to those being observed, who were volunteer student nurses undertaking observations on research team members who participated as 'patients' in a simulated hospital ward. No personal data was recorded. Obsevers were all members of the research team. The study received ethical approval (South Central – Berkshire REC  19/SC/0190 ) although this particular activity was exempt from ethical approval as there are no research particpants and no personal data is involved.
The data consists of simulataneous ratings of the time to complete a fuull set of vital signs observations recorded by Observer 1 and observer 2. Data is repeated (hh:mm:ss and seconds, calculated from the hh:mm:ss in excel).  Additional fields are calculated on this spreadheet.
