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.

“Floor” nurses often work 8-12 hour shifts. At the beginning of the shift, they receive report to find out how their patients did during the previous shift. During the shift, they carry out treatment plans by dispensing medicines, monitoring patients including vital signs, preparing the patients for tests and other diagnostic procedures.
