7p-7a question

Nurses General Nursing

Hello all !

I will be graduating in May and, so far, the positions I have interviewed for have been for the 7p-7a shift (which is what I want to work anyway). During clinicals, we have only done day shift rotations and, therefore, I have no idea what to expect from this 7p-7a shift. As a new grad, it seems like I would be missing out on A LOT of meds, dressing changes, procedures, etc because the majority of the time the patient will be sleeping?

I am curious from those of you that have worked both shifts, do I have any reason to worry? And, what sort of things do you do on this shift.

Thanks In Advance,

Flea

The patients on my unit are NIGHT OWLS. Only about 50% of them will actually sleep - the ones that don't, I offer them sleep meds if it's ordered. The ones that refuse meds and don't sleep will keep your night interesting ;)
