Night shift medications

[Newnurse23]

What are some common medications you’ve given on night shift? 
 

Thanks!

Anything specifically scheduled q 6 hours or q 8 hours will have at least one NOC administration. Prilosec and synthroid are typically early morning so usually given by nights.  Pain meds are common, especially the PRN variety!
