A Typical Shift

Your day begins by reviewing the schedule and prior notes in the EHR, then coordinating with therapists and nursing to confirm timing and any precautions. Between patient visits, you document clearly, adjust priorities as add-on needs arise, and communicate progress updates to the care team. You’ll switch comfortably between age groups and settings, keeping interactions calm and respectful. As the shift closes, you ensure documentation is complete, equipment and spaces are ready for the next day, and any follow-up items are handed off appropriately.
