I'll take you into the midnight hustle of a busy step-down unit with our "Night Shift Secrets: Inside a Busy Step-Down Unit 🌙💉" video. Follow me, a dedicated registered nurse, as I navigate a typical night shift, managing everything from medication administration to emergency patient care on the stepdown unit. Experience firsthand what it means to work in a high-pressure healthcare environment like the Stepdown ICU/IMU/PCU units.
In this video, I walk you through the meticulous process of reading physician notes, preparing medications, and ensuring precise patient care during a typical night shift on the PCU unit. From handling complex cases, including a COVID patient awaiting discharge, to performing detailed assessments and administering TPN and lipids, get an authentic glimpse into the critical responsibilities of night shift nurses on the IMU Unit.
Whether you're a nursing student eager to learn about different nursing units, a fellow healthcare professional, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes in a hospital at night, this video is perfect for you. My ultimate secret? Always be prepared and stay informed to provide the best care possible for your patients.

I love this! It’s by far one of the best DITL videos. You did a great job with explaining in detail how your shift went and showing us clips of the process!
I have an interview coming up for a Medical Intermediate Care Unit at a level II hospital working with adults. I have been away from the bedside since 2018! Lately, I’ve been working in clinics with children and adults over the years and now that I’m more confident as a “person” I am ready to start my journey to becoming an ICU nurse.
I hope I get the job but I’m nervous about going back to bedside and dealing with the hustle and bustle of things. I just want to “really know my patients” and be able to critically think as a nurse. When I worked on a med-surg floor it was so task heavy that I felt like I wasn’t critically thinking and I was just following orders. I hated it. Do you think I’ll be ok working in a step-down unit with my big gap from hospital nursing? Will I be able to focus more on what’s going on with my patients on a deeper level than I would on a Med-Surg unit?
Thank you for sharing your life as a Nurse with us 😊!
Thank you for stopping by.
I believe that it should be easy for you to get the stepdown unit job because almost every hospital is literally hunting for nurses now. Also, you will have adequate training/preceptorship to get you somewhat ready for going solo. I can tell you that even after preceptorship, u would doubt your capabilities but your confidence will come with time. I always say "always ask when in doubt because it's better to ask and be looked as stupid rather than think you know and make a fatal mistake". Most older nurses love answering questions to teach new nurses and so I always tell them I'm a new nurse and they explain things so well to me.
You already have medsurge experience and so bedside wouldn't be totally new to you and yes I agree with you on how you feel when in medsurge. I always say it's boring bec it's like just giving patients their home meds and not thinking hard about what next to do but on the stepdown unit, I can assure you that your nursing judgement and critical thinking hat is always in use.
I do have some more videos on my unit coming up soon, so please stay subscribed and support your girl.
All the best
I'm thinking of going live to answer all the questions people have about the stepdown unit. Would you want to share questions that I can answer on that session?
@@Stephanieayi01thank you for the insight! Everything you mentioned makes sense and it made me feel a lot better but, I’m so nervous about working as a floor nurse. I ended up canceling the interview and asked to reschedule smh. I also applied for an ICU nurse residency program that accepts nurses that have been away from the bedside for a while. That interview is coming up in a couple weeks as well. I just don’t know what to do or where to start.

Just giving an update. I ended up getting into an ICU residency program for new nurses and nurses who have been away from the bedside for over a year. I’m so excited and ready to use my critical thinking skills as a nurse. Thanks for your help 😊!
Best video for new pcu nurses!
