Rachel’s Answer

Most nurses on the inpatient floor work an 8-12 hour shift. They report to work, receive sign-out (information and updates about their patient) from the nurse on the preceding shift, and then they meet their patients. They provide medications, take vitals, assist with walking and provide advice and encouragement to their patients. They also spend a good deal of time charting the status of their patients during the day.

Richard’s Answer

There is a wide variety of “typical” days. I am a radiologist. The nurses that work in my department spend their day with patients getting diagnostic procedures. They receive the patient from either the day surgery unit or inpatient nursing unit, evaluate the patient and prepare the patient for the procedure. They administer sedation medications and monitor the patient for complications during the procedure. Finally they monitor the patient during the immediate recovery period and prepare the patient for the return to the day surgery unit or inpatient nursing unit.
