The Night Shift Nurse Educator Role in the Inpatient Care Setting: A Narrative Review.

Abstract

Historically, night nurses tend to have limited resources available to them during their shifts. In some inpatient healthcare settings, a nurse educator has been hired specifically to support night shift nurses. The purpose of this article is to conduct a narrative review of the existing literature that highlights the implementation of the night shift educator role in the inpatient care setting. The implications of hiring for such a role will also be discussed.
