We work 12-hour shifts. My day starts at around 06h30, and need to be there 15 minutes before that because the night shift needs to hand over a report to the morning shift on everything that took place during the night. Some patients need to be individually fed, and then the doctors have rounds. The doctor gives new instructions for each patient's treatment, which we have to administer.
Medication is handed out twice a day.
Some patients need to be turned over every two hours to prevent bedsores. Every detail needs to be written down, even if you take the patient's temperature. Cleaning bedpans is part of the typical day, but there is a bedpan cupboard that makes it very convenient and not as bad as it seems. Hospitals and clinics have different uniforms but you have to look neat. We wear navy and white.
