What is a typical day like for a hyperbaric nurse?


October 19th, 2024

The Hyperbaric day begins with a change into sweats like everybody else and then you get your tray of Meds. You do a aerobic count while sitting in the unit and get your ears to clear for twenty minutes. Next comes the "trip" up to a low ground feeling of safety.
Vital sign are measured and recorded Q10 minutes. Lunch is served around 12:00 p.m. and the staff gets ready to report to the evening shift. A walk around the unit is good for all concerned including new patients. Good luck with the new career.
