Does your hospital have a house supervisor at night? At our hospital if we had something that needs to be resolved we call them if our charge won't try and figure something out. Your charge nurse should have helped with your patients or relieved you from sitting with that patient. That is their job to make sure all the nurses are doing their job and there if the need help. On our floor our night shift is the complete opposite than our day shift. At night we all go over and beyond to help each other out and our day shift is like dog eat dog world from what I can tell. If your manager is one that does not have an open door policy that you can't go to her about your concerns like these situations then that's another topic. Don't throw anyone under the bus when you talk with your manager. When you bring up your concerns focus on patient safety! That is the key that gets anyone's attention in a hospital. I am a newbie nurse technically I am almost to my one years mark at the end of the month, you have to bring up situations that you do not think is safe. After all it will be your patient safety care that gets noticed and it is your license on he line not anyone else just remember that.

I would love more information please. I have had my license a little over a year now. I am currently working full time in Huntsville but I started at JSU but was not able to complete my degree there due to family circumstances. I want to have my BSN from JSU since that is where me and my husband met and where he graduated from and I want a degree from there as well. GO GAMECOCKS and BLOW SOUTHERNERS!
