A nurse activity efficiency is controlled greatly by the order of activities, and the system for nurses to learn the ideal order of activities is expected. For the construction of this system, it is required to recognize nurse activities from the sensor data, to calculate the order of activities and to compare the activity order that is recognized with other nurses' or optimized activity order. In this paper, we used accelerometers and RFID tags to recognize these nursing activities. We verified the accuracy of activity recognition and determined the activities that could not be easily recognized with experience.
