Lazy Charge Nurse in ED

Published

Hey ladies and gents... I need some advice. As you may know I just "converted"(lol) to the ED from a tele floor. I LOVE it. My problem is the charge nurse I work with is soooo LAZY! she does not take pts, and is suppose to help out when things get rough....which u all know happends alot. She will dissapear, and no one can find her. Or, she will just sit there watching you run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. I havn't been in the department long, and she seems to want to help me more than other nurses.....one of our nurses had 2 intubated pts and 2 non-criticals all at once! I want to stop this before that nurse is me.....and I do not want to make foes before I make friends...ya know what I mean?

Specializes in Cardiac, ED.

Thank you cweeks your post was very helpful! This is definitly an on-going battle, and I am doing my best to help out others...thanks all!
