Acuity scores are good..but I've yet to see an ideal one! :) It is tough, especially when you have an assignment and the responsibilities that go along with being charge. In the ED, its more organization and patient flow; on the floors it seems more geared towards making the schedule and keeping up on staffing, although I am sure my experience on the two floors I've worked on is certainly not comprehensive! Its never perfect, and someone always complains...just do the best you can and you will do fine! Hi Karin, I am sorry I missed this comment previously.

You are brave! Sometime, this year, I will do it (charge). I keep postponing it for the fear of handling the assignments. There is always a complaint from one or 2 nurses. When my unit nails down an ideal acuity scoring, I will volunteer to train as charge. Great job! You are brave!
