busy nurse

Overview

busy nurse is a browser-based nursing shift simulation set in an internal medicine and surgical ward. The user chooses a day, evening, or night shift and works through a timed ward routine. The official page presents the Chinese title “上班不要吃鳳梨” and describes the project as an independent nursing version inspired by Dr. Charming’s “我熱愛值班”.

Key Features

• Three shift scenarios: day 08:00–16:00, evening 16:00–24:00, and night 00:00–08:00, each with a different mix of ward duties.
• A handoff view for eight beds with patient demographics, diagnoses, GCS, stability or warning status, care notes, and scheduled medications.
• A work board tracking routine medication, vital signs, operating-room transport, emergency admission, rounds, discharge education, lunch, documentation, and handoff.
• An interactive ward map showing patient rooms, the nursing station, treatment room, treatment cart, telephone, elevator, toilet, and break area.
• A visible practice flow for abnormal findings: perform a bedside assessment, judge the level, call the physician with SBAR from the nursing station, and carry out the new order. During a test run, the game also produced a timed “phone is ringing” event.

How It Works

1. Select a shift and review the handoff information for the ward.
2. Start the shift to enter the interactive map and begin the countdown.
3. Use the ward areas and the work board to follow scheduled care and respond to changing events.
4. Track stamina, bladder, hunger, score, remaining shift time, and the activity log as the workday progresses.

Use Cases

• Nursing learners can rehearse the sequence of reviewing a handoff, prioritising a ward list, recognising an abnormal finding, and escalating through SBAR in a game setting.
• Educators and creators can use the non-commercial, educational experience to discuss shift organisation, communication, and the difference between simulated practice and real clinical work.

Pricing and Availability

The official page presents the experience as a browser game and states that it is free to play without downloading. It also states that commercial use is prohibited and that scenarios, values, and medication doses are for game practice only; clinical work must follow the physician’s orders and the unit’s rules.
