Nurse Station and My Shift

Your shift home: clock in, see critical alerts, work outstanding tasks, and end your shift with a handoff.

Nurse Station is your home base. Bedside nurses see My Shift; charge nurses see the Ward Overview (covered in the Bed map guide).

Starting your shift

  1. 1Open Nurse Station (or My Shift) from the sidebar.
  2. 2In the shift hero card, select Clock in. The card shows your shift type (Day / Evening / Night), your ward, and how long you've been on.
  3. 3Work through your day from the cards below.
  4. 4At the end, select End shift to open the handoff composer, then Clock out (it confirms before ending).

What's on My Shift

  • Critical alerts for my patients — high/critical NEWS2, qSOFA ≥2, critical labs, and allergy-vs-order conflicts for your patients.
  • Outstanding tasks (next 4 hours) — MARs due, nurse-targeted orders, and vitals due, each showing how late or how soon it is.
  • Open calls — patient calls, with a Log call button.
  • My patients — your assigned patients (a charge nurse assigns these from the ward overview).
  • Handoffs to acknowledge and Doctor orders to acknowledge — with Acknowledge and Open chart buttons.
  • My charting this shift — running counts of vitals, MARs, and notes since you clocked in.
