We have a list of everyone on our unit, including charge nurses and if you get called off then you get put to the bottom of the list and it goes to the next person. Have you looked into floating to other units? I know in our hospital at least one of the ICUs will always take a nurse, so if you can float then ask to be used on a different unit.
Does anyone know if they you a pencil and paper to write on for the ccrn exam? I always have to put things in a certain order to answer questions. I really hope they do. Im very very very nervous for this exam.
