How do I add a shift to FISDAP?
Once a student has been approved to attend a clinical or field shift, they will need to manually add the shift to FISDAP in order to begin documenting their Patient Care Reports (PCRs) and obtain end-of-shift requirements. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to fisdap.net
- Log in to your student account
- Hover over orange "Shifts" tab
- Click "Skills & Pt. care"
- Add a shift by doing the following:
- Clinical (hospital shift): Choose "+ Clinical Shift"
- Field (EMS shift): Choose "+ Field Shift"
- Once in the appropriate shift, a box will pop up that looks like:

- Under "Field/Clinical Site", choose your site location that you have already been approved for
- "Base/Department" will be the specific station (i.e Acadian - Bastrop vs Acadian - Pasadena) OR may say one of the following if there is only one reporting station: Only, Primary, Station 1, etc.
- Date will be the date that you were approved for
- Start time will be the arrival time in military time (i.e 0700, 0630, 2000, etc)
- Duration will be length in hours (i.e 12, 24, or 48) that you were approved for. If you are scheduled for a 24 or 48 hours shift with the same preceptor, you will put the start time of Day 1 and alter duration to reflect how long you'll be at that site.
- Click "Save"
