The research method used descriptive method.Theresearchsampleof96observationalactivitieswasdonebynursesfor24 hours. The instrument that was used was an observation sheet to obtain quantitative data using a work sampling form as well as time and motion study. The workload calculation done by analyzing the comparison of the percentage of productive activity implementation time and nonproductive activity implementation time.Highworkload> 80%, optimum = 80%, light<80% of the total time done by nurses. The results showed that the workload of nurses included in the mild category (58.75%), with the tendency of nurses to be in the category of personal activities especially during the nightshift.In nursing care wound care requiresthe mosttime with an average time of 23 minutes 14 seconds,whiletheleastamountoftimeisintheactofreplacingintravenousfluidsfor1 minute8seconds.Research implications nurses need to increase productive activities, especially in the night shift by monitoring each patient’s room scheduled alternately.
