Patient Safety at Risk/ Transfer to another job?

I am an ICU nurse with a little over 1.5 years of experience...so a newer nurse. After working an hour and a half away from my home for over a year in a community hospital, I finally got hired in an ICU close to my home and started 2 months ago. The problem is that the intensivists' contract at my new hospital ended in January, so the hospitalists are managing the critical patients. Prior to my hire, many of the nurses employed there left the unit when they found out that the intensivists were leaving. I feel that this has created an unsafe situation with nurses new to the hospital system and hospitalists managing critical patients. At times, we either have no patients, only med/surg patients, or patients that I feel are unsafe to keep. I have even had to serve as charge nurse right off of my orientation. I don't feel ready for this role, and I feel that we are putting patients in danger.

Would it be appropriate for me to apply for a transfer within the hospital system even this soon after my hire? There are several other locations within 30 minutes of my home.

Addendum: And yes, there was an incident where a doctor prescribed a med. incorrectly, and a patient had to be intubated.
