Should the charge nurse take a regular patient assignment if the unit is
short staffed? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The charge nurse, like the
manager is assigned the duty of leading the unit. Since that is the
primary role, all options for staffing should be explored before taking an
assignment. If the charge nurse takes a full patient assignment, it means
nobody is leading the unit, which could be a problem if a crisis occurs,
at which point the charge nurse would either be distracted from the crisis
or be distracted from caring for her patient assignment. There are certain
cases where the only solution is for the charge nurse to take an
assignment. Ideally it should not be a full assignment so there is still
time to lead the unit.

ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Actually it is the most effective to make

cultivate leaders by allowing the nurse with the interest in leading to
lead.
