When a nurse first arrives at work, one of their first responsibilities is to either speak with the previous night nurse or review outpatient records to get an idea of which and how many patients they’ll be dealing with. Once this has been completed, other preparations are made which include looking over patient tests that will be administered throughout that day, coordinating schedules with doctors, and checking email.
Emergencies come up throughout the day that may prevent other, less critical appointments and testing from taking place on time.
Roughly around the point of mid day, lunch is supose to beeaten. However, this could be interrupted at any time by a medical emergency that needs immediate attention. A day in the life of a nurse can be hectic, and any nurse will tell you that no two days are alike.
Whenever the emergency subsides, the nurse goes back to quickly consume the rest of their lunch with what little time they have left
As time creeps into the afternoon, more patients are seen and dealt with. In some cases, non-Swedish-speaking patients will bring along translators to help the communication process along.
Once the nurse gets a chance to breathe between patient emergencies, appointments, testing, and scheduling, he/she can return to their office to catch up on less critical matters....
Lastly, at the end of the day, the nurse leaves almost entirely depleted of energy. However, they are also filled with a sense of fulfillment for making such a difference in the lives of their patients. The nurse plans to go home As soon as Next shift nurse arrives...

My wife spent 40 years in the medical field as an X-Ray Tech, my daughter does Cat Scan as do my son and daughter in-law. The schedule can be brutal and as you mention Hospitals are open 24/7. The holidays are always a little hectic as they all need to work a certain number of holidays. The one thing they all have in common is their compassion for their patients. Very much like yourself their day can be a rat-race but they all love their jobs and like to feel they make a difference in a person's life. It takes a special person like yourself to care for those in need. Great Job. May 2019 be filled with happyness for you and your loved ones.
