So I am wandering how it is at other places but at our hospital, they didn't want the charge nurse to take pts anymore, but now they have changed it and said the night shift charge nurse will take pts now and it will just depend on the number of nurses/patients on day shift. When our night shift charge nurse didn't have pts, she would help with admits and blood sugars and really anything and it was so much more easier but now management says they can't justify the night shift charge not having patients
