Who here works the night shift at a LTC facility? I'm fresh out of school and recently got hired as an LPN to a facility where I've worked for a year as a CNA on 2-10. The only available opening they had was 10-6 but I'm a night owl so I dont feel as if I'll have a problem with the staying awake part. I'll probably have about 32 residents and maybe 1 CNA to work with me on the hall I'm assigned to.
What type of things does a nurse DO on the night shift? I'm sure it differs from facility to facility, but as a general rule, what will I be doing most of the time?
