Responsibilities of Day Shift vs. Night Shift Med Surg Nurses

If you're considering whether you should work on day shift or night shift on a med surg unit, in this video I go over the practical differences between the two shifts.
I have a free mini-course to help new med-surg nurses get better at a very common frustrating challenge: Giving and getting report. It's called Nursing Report Basics for Med-Surg Nurses and it includes my fav med-surg report sheet and my top abbreviations I would use when taking report!

Hi Kati, I’m a newly graduated RN starting a med/surg position in May. I’m so glad your channel exists, it feels like there’s an abundance of nursing school resources out there - but very little content on how to actually prepare for the job. Keep up the great work!

So glad it's been so helpful! :-)

Great video. I’m a new grad starting med/surg nights and I’m so anxious about everything. This really helped me with a general idea of what to expect!

[@freshrn]

You've got this! I was so nervous too back when I started years ago. Check out episode 1 of my podcast (The FreshRN Podcast) for a detailed explanation of what to expect during orientation too - you might find it helpful and reassuring.

I agree . May God bless you

Thank you for all your work! I graduate in May with my ADN and I am soooo happy that I found your videos! Im interested in neurosurgery and I have a job lined up for me already and your videos have helped so much with anxiety as an extern and upcoming nurse! Ill for sure have to tune into the podcasts. Have a safe and blessed 2024!
