![Tonight’s shift went pretty smoothly, we had just enough staff on as one of our bank staff got moved to a different ward. The other nurse on did the medications so I gathered all the files we need to move them down to the night station. We have a separate nurses’ station closer to the bedrooms that we use at night. I handed out the sleep charts to the staff on observations and got the NEWS scores for the patients on clozapine to make sure they were within range to give the drug. The other nurse and I organised the breaks and split the progress notes between us. I updated the safety huddle for the morning and updated the proformas for the ward rounds [on] the next shift. Proformas are a summary of a patient’s week with all the information other professionals need to know. The other nurse focused on audits and when I had time I cleaned the clinical room.](https://followyourcompassion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/image0-13-scaled.jpeg)
