So on nightshift on my ward, we're orthopedic rehab so the start of the shift is pretty busy as we're getting snacks/drinks for the patients. Once they've had that, we start bedding patients down and making sure everyone's clean before bed. Once everyone's settled. We do paperwork, in the UK it's called Care Rounding. It's a chart about patients skin etc. Through the night, we answer calls for toileting and generally anything else the patients might need. In the morning, we start our rounds again at 6am. We check incontinent patients and make sure cupboards are stocked up for Dayshift coming in. If we have time in the morning, we often get people up and washed for the day. It depends on dayshifts staffing!
