I just resigned from my med-surg oncology position after 8 months due to pregnancy complications, but after the baby is born, I was really thinking about applying to work in this psychiatric hospital in my town. The shift would be perfect so we wouldn't have to put our baby in daycare from 6 pm to 6 am, but my question is...
Can you describe what a "typical" night shift is for you? I realize psych is most likely NEVER typical and always different, but ideally, how should your night go, perhaps as far as charting, med pass etc?
I've never been on a psych unit at night time and am so curious! THANKS SO MUCH!
