Quick! Help!!!

Published

Okay all, I need help. I wasn't planning on leaving my job for a while, but I came across an ad that interested me, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm updating my resume, and I need to describe my charge duties. The problem is, even though my title is "charge nurse", there's not really a job description for it. I basically do everything I did as a staff nurse, assign patients to beds, make sure all the other RNs are doing okay, deal with any issues (customer service or anything else) that may come up, and basically make sure everything is going as smoothly as possible. Anyone have any ideas of how to succinctly describe my charge responsibilities on a resume???

Thanks, you guys rock!!!
