Just wondering how pair of scrubs do you own? And how long does the colors last before you throw away? Do you like to wear solid or print scrubs, or both? Thx for sharing:)

a few more questions please help... * What do you do during the "downtime"? * For the 'I & O' charting, can you give me example like often how many cc do you put down for the input? Because it seem like at night the pts sleep all the time and rarely drink water or any liquid at all, so in this case do we just put "0 cc" for the input, is that right? * Usually who do the vital sign at your facility?

Thank you for the reply all.

So when you making your round and if the patient is alert do you have to tap on them or something like that and said I'm gonna change your brief now or do you just change it without telling them? I'm asking b/c tonight is the 1st time I'm gonna work noc shift. And I'm worry that if I'm come in to change the brief on the alert pt without telling them first they would get mad or yelling at me b/c it distracting their sleep. So please tell me how did you do your round for the alert pts? Did they screaming at you or anything like that? Another question, do you eat meal on your break for noc shift?

:confused:Is it ok to come to work about 15 minutes late and leave 15 minutes later after the the shift end? So I work AM shift and this shift is from 7:00AM-3:30PM. I often come to work late for 15 minutes and leave about 15 minutes late to make it equal to 8 hours of work. The reason I did this is because our assignment wouldn't available til 30 minutes later so I thought why come in too early and have nothing to do anyway. So the night shift people clock out at 7:30AM but the majority leave around 7:20AM. Is it ok to do this as long as I make it equal to 8 hours of work? I thought it's fine to do this because our assignment is not ready yet anyway, JMO. So please tell me if this is ok to do or not? I decided to ask here first because I'm too nervous to ask this question to my employer. Thanks in advance:)
