Overnight Workflow

As the overnight LPN, you'll begin by reviewing handoff notes, MARs, and any new or time‑sensitive orders, then prioritize medication passes and monitoring needs for the shift. You'll coordinate with the on‑call provider as needed, answer routine medication questions, and keep documentation current so the team has clear, audit‑ready records by morning. Between scheduled tasks, you'll check in with clients to support comfort and stability, complete brief reassessments, and update charts after any status changes. You'll also reconcile counts, confirm secure storage, and prepare medication‑related paperwork so orders, inventory, and disposal processes remain compliant through the night.
