We also split the med A's and weekly summaries, right now I have 9 med A's and can have between 0 and 4 weekly summaries to chart each night I work.

Well, I rarely get my allotted total hour of breaktime, I can tell you that! SOME of my responsiblities, on top of the med passes, treatments and helping CNA's answer lights (yes, I do this), the RN's on NOC's: take care of ordering meds, pharmacy deliveries, stocking med and treatment carts, all scheduled blood draws, changing out all O2 tubing as scheduled, writing and sending C2 orders, exchanging sharps boxes, restocking dialysis fluids and supplies, get all paperwork ready for out patient appointments and hemodialysis, prepare as much of the d/c paperwork as possible, complete admission paperwork, do all TB skin tests-off the top of my head. Please someone explain what they do on the regular on their night shift.

I literally break my butt daily and stay late daily just to finish my work and these nurses all do the same and rush through report with their bags In their hand to run off the unit. Night shift differential is a total of $2 more than me a hour. They even leave pending orders for me to pick up. Such as : find supplies, order meds, call doctors, clarify orders etc etc. Asking myself what the heck do they do? I get report from them every morning and almost every day they have a check list of things I have to do aside from my already demanding workload plus charting. I'm finding myself resent the night shift nurses more and more everyday. I have a total of 20 patients just like the other shifts but I have the heaviest med pass and heaviest treatment orders to fulfill in just 7.5 hours. Can anyone please fill me in on what their night shift duties consist of in their subacute or ltac facility ? I currently have a position as a day staff RN on a subacute rehab unit.
