Get ready with me for night shift 🫣

Night shifts for nursing students are super rare and we always get overly excited about our night shifts, i mean… we have to stay awake the whole night now?!?!

ANYWAY, had my first night shift this week and i thought it’s quite an interesting experience to share! + some tips that helped me to stay awake!

Our night shift starts from 9pm-7.30am and here’s what we need to:

- diapers changing/assist to toilet

- serving intravenous antibiotics

- taking bloods, setting new IV cannula

- answering to call bells (yes sometimes our patients refuse to sleep 😭)

To help me tackle my night shift, I brought some snacks with me - granola which is filled with vitamins, yoghurt and milo packet as my energy booster! 🤭

Sometimes we do listen to music at our nursing counter to help us tackle the tiredness, and do we NAP? rarely!!! we need to watch over your loved ones like security guards while being a nurse at the same time! 🫣

The best part about night shift is watching each other doze off and laughing at how we weak we are 😂 BUT, it’s part of our job and i’m more than happy to experience this core memory in my nursing student journey ✨
