there’s a 300 bed hospital no night shift. We have to come in to mix. Nurses can only pop on. Is this normal.

In my state you're required to if you're over 100 licensed beds. 300 is insane, unless overnight census is like 50.
Yeah, the average census would be more important. OP, how many of those beds are sitting empty on average? Also, are you counting beds that are just for 24 hr observation/skilled nursing/psychiatric/etc--beds that generally aren't going to have new IV's be ordered overnight?
Otherwise, yes 300 acute/ICU/CCU beds that are usually filled without an overnight sounds crazy.
