Abstract:
Night shift nurses face unique operational challenges that affect care quality and staff well-being, including limited resources, high patient turnover, and complex cases. These factors can lead to inefficiencies and safety concerns. Implementing a night shift resource nurse improves operations by enhancing patient care, increasing shift-specific support, reducing emergencies, and boosting staff satisfaction and efficiency. This model offers a targeted solution to improve outcomes during overnight hours.
