What does the day look like?
Between 30% and 40% of your working hours involve direct clinical care: monitoring vital signs (blood pressure, pulse oximetry, ECG), administering oral and intravenous medications, dressing wounds, inserting IV cannulas and urinary catheters, and drawing blood samples. However, 35% to 45% of your shift is documentation and administrative work: charting in Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems such as Epic Systems, Cerner Millennium, SAP Health, or Dedalus ORBIS, conducting structured SBAR inter-shift handovers, and reconciling narcotics inventories.
The remainder of your time (15% to 20%) is spent accompanying physicians on ward rounds, escalating deteriorating patients using early warning scores like NEWS2, and communicating with families. Work is structured in continuous shifts: either 3 shifts (06:00-14:30, 13:30-22:00, 21:30-06:30) or 12-hour rotations (07:00-19:30 and 19:00-07:30), including mandatory weekends, public holidays, and on-call duties in intensive care or emergency units.
