Congratulations on securing your shift with uPaged! Here's everything you need to know for your upcoming first shift.
- If it’s your first shift at a facility, arrive 30 minutes early to sign on.
- Always arrive at the unit at least 10 minutes before the start of your shift.
- Introduce yourself to the team leader for your shift.
- Find a ‘buddy’ practitioner working near you to build rapport with so you have someone to go to (before the team leader) if you need help during your shift.
- Ask for a quick orientation to the ward/unit (emergency trolley, staff and patient toilet, kitchen, pan room, bathroom, equipment room and stores). This will help your time management immensely!
- Communicate essential information regarding your patient’s condition and movements to the team leader.
- Go to and come back from breaks on time. If you’re not sure how long they are, ask.
- If you’ve finished your work, ask others if they need a hand!
- Make sure your bed spaces are tidy and unused equipment is put away.
- Document thoroughly and complete all required care plans. If in doubt, check with a regular
practitioner.
- Provide a thorough, clear handover and ensure all elements of the care you provided are documented.
- Thank the team leader for the day at the end of your shift.
