Reply To: working the night shift

2scents and NOMTW, i meant both. nights are quieter because there are no visitors disturbing our work. and census was low. nights is mostly basic routine stuff unless there is an admission or emergency etc. also, that night had a low census-6 pts, 2 RN’s and 3 nursing students (myself, classmate and student from a dif school) and the pts were stable. this week can be very different-the census changes daily as well as staffing levels. this week i hope to get placed in the PICU (peds ICU) to get some experience there.

im really tempted to bring a nclex review book this week w/ all the down time. might as well use it…
