International Nurses Association

Odds are, you don’t give yourself enough credit. Nurses deserve a lot of credit and gratitude for the jobs they do, and its time you just think about what all it is that you do during a day, and then give yourself a pat on the back. Typical S hift -           Most nurses work 12 hour shifts. That means you spend 12 hours medicating, comforting, and providing care for sick or injured patients.  -           Starting your shift, you visit the patient’s room, introduce yourself to new patients, and say hello to the existing patients that you already are familiar with. Of course, every nurse always asks if there is anything the patient needs, so the needs provided will keep you busy for some time. -           Depending on what shift you are working, you may need to speak with doctors, and accompany them on rounds.  -           If working day shifts in particular, you will speak with insurance representatives, and essentially be an advocate for your patient.  -
