   Charge as a new grad ICU RN

   So not fair but it's unfortunately the world we currently live in 😞 I've seen it happen too many times. New grad's as charge, float nurses as charge, travelers as charge. Crazy! But it's happening all over.

    Thanks for sharing! How is the extra duty/how many hours per month? And do nurses from Keesler do Covid deployments often? If it’s slow around there, what are nurses doing when there’s not much going on?
