The work
You see your assigned patients, check each ventilator, give treatments, and adjust settings with the physician and the nurse. Codes and rapid responses can interrupt that plan at any hour.
Night shifts are common in hospital work, and weekends rotate. You also teach patients and families how to use oxygen and other equipment at home.
