Job Summary

The Charge Nurse is a Registered Nurse with unit lead responsibilities for patient flow and adjustment of unit staffing to meet the dynamic needs of the patients.

The facilitation of patient flow includes triaging and prioritizing admissions and overseeing the care coordination of patients being discharged/transferred.

Daily nurse staffing includes employing effective decision-making behaviors that are used to safely balance changes in patient acuity and census with the availability, experience, and competency of the staff nurses, to ensure safe and adequate staffing for all shifts.

The Charge Nurse will demonstrate resourcefulness, tactful communication, flexibility, adaptability, decisiveness, and awareness of the global needs of the hospital.

The Charge Nurse will be a clinical leader and resource on the unit, collaborating with the interdisciplinary team to facilitate patient care stay progression and unit goals.

As appropriate and/or delegated by the Nurse Manager, the Charge Nurse monitors and intervenes in addressing opportunities for assuring regulatory compliance, quality effectiveness, and a satisfactory patient experience.

When working as a clinical Staff RN, the Charge Nurse is a practitioner who is responsible for assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating nursing care for an identified group of patients in an inpatient environment.

This individual demonstrates competency in delivery of care to a primarily adult population.
