Specialties CCU
Published Jan 11, 2009
HI all. I was wondering if in your CVICU's your charge nurse has an assignment. In my neuro ICU we do and it is terrible trying to be charge and do patient care. We are trying to get this changed, but we haven't been able to yet.
Thanks

Up until we opened another eight beds our charges took a full patient load in our CCU. Now with 24 beds, with the new eight on a separate floor, our charges do not take patients.
