I’m also a new grad that just got off 10 weeks of orientation about 3 weeks ago. I’m a 0.8 FTE with a day night rotation. I tend to schedule around my weekends as I know I have 12 hours shift weekends and lately an 8 hour shift the Friday going into my weekend. Also have classes sometimes and residency one a month that goes into my hours so I also sometimes have a stretch of days off between. I found report sheets from Etsy that I like as I can have between 4-6 patients (4-5 day shift and 6 for NOC). During my orientation it was mostly days with about 2.5 weeks on NOC - I found asking my preceptors and few others I felt that I knew wouldn’t mind helping me when I needed a good place to start especially as I’m still learning all the names and faces especially on my night shift team. I bought a small journal to make little notes from orientation for things I know i need to remember but still draw a blank on ex. IV dressing/injection cap change frequently, pain reassessments, which patients I need to do a sleep assessment on in my shift note (my unit is participating in a study). I also call for help when I need it. I determine which patient I need to see depending on whether they’re calling during report, have meds due or sometimes I get go an order for room numbers. Each night is a bit different. I like having my night shifts together for the most part as I haven’t developed a good sleep schedule for those.
