What happens on a nursing shift? Starting when you first came in.

Published

Just very curious, when you come in for example on an afternoon shift, what should you do first? Do you take rounds, take endorsements, then after that what do you do? What's your main responsibility? I want to know what I'd do in my future work.

OP, I am wondering the same thing. Members use this forum for various reasons such as to vent, to ask fellow nurses about a specific situation that they are/were faced with, or to ask for advice regarding practice and standards of care. I have read your past posts and I am curious as to whether or not you are using this forum to answer homework questions.

Reading through the terms of service, I cannot find anything that specifically refers to posters posing questions for homework purposes. We all like to help those that are learning, but also encourage students to look up answers to questions on their own.
