11 pm to 7 am shifts

[Scarlettz, BSN, RN]

Does anyone work psych 11 pm to 7 am shift? I used to work psych 8 pm to 8am a few years back. I was just curious as to what you were responsibe during this time? Do you do the morning med pass or is that for the day shift? I just applied for a pt night position and was just getting some ideas.

When I worked 11 pm to 7 am, we did morning meds, specimen collections, and chart checks. We also did admissions until around 5 am.

Did you have to do lab draws?

I just started NOC. Two 12s and two 8s (7pm-730am/11pm-730am). We only give 9pm meds.  But our facility is a 23hr59min crisis facility.  Many patients don't bring it have meds when they come in.
