Charge Nurse (RN) Reviews
What is it like working as a Charge Nurse (RN)?
September 2023
It is discouraging because you are expected to carry a heavy load. It feels like you are set up to fail.
Charge Nurse (RN) in Naples:
Pros: I really like my coworkers.
Cons: I do not like the pay. I can’t afford the cost of living in Naples.
March 2023
High stress.
Charge Nurse (RN) in Redlands:
Pros: helping those in need
Cons: Preference given to one department over another. Use of subjective opinion rather than EBP to make important decisions. MDs paid by salary, so do not care about low census, which affects nursing hours
February 2023
Accident waiting to happen.
Charge Nurse (RN) in Wilmington:
Pros: Cowirkers
Cons: Forced on call at night time and being expected to come in at all times if night being pulled to all different units including ones you have not had training fir
February 2023
Charge Nurse (RN) in Racine:
Pros: Being able to provide care to patients and be available for staff to talk to me about their concerns.
Cons: Scheduling
January 2023
Stressful, frustrating, but fulfilling.
Charge Nurse (RN) in Chicago:
Pros: Teamwork and camaraderie amongst my immediate team have been present since the day I started 5 years ago. Employees frequently come and go, but new teammates are welcomed into a culture of "we are all in this together." I love knowing that when I walk into work I'm surrounded by not just coworkers but by genuine friends who are legitimately concerned with my well-being. Perhaps this experience is unique to my department. However, I believe that the social Identity and technical efficacy of most departments exist downstream of conscientious corporate structuring and leadership; or a lack thereof.
Cons: More so than other hospital systems in our area, there seems to be an omnipresent preoccupation with finances gently being propagandized from the C-suite down to clinical staff on the ground. We all understand that a bankrupt hospital that closes its doors, cannot help anybody; we understand that the bottom line matters. I know NorthShore is well run from a fiscal perspective and its annual financial reports support that conclusion. This makes it even more frustrating when requests for additional supplies, staff, or resources are constantly met with the answer, "it's not in the budget" and then some beautiful fountain is built for the patient lobby. Communication between layers of corporate insulation would be useful.
December 2022
Very satisfying.
Charge Nurse (RN) in Moline:
Pros: The autonomy to make decisions and conduct my work duties on my own while still having support from my Director if I need it
Cons: Pay
November 2022
Treat your nursing staff better.
Charge Nurse (RN) in Helena:
Pros: Co-workers
Cons: Poor communication from management, micromanaging but not addressing pertinent issues, chasing away good staff, unacceptable nurse to patient ratio and nurse to CNA ratio, not addressing concerns (from both patients and staff) about incompetent physicians
