You are an excellent clinical nurse. So much so, that you have now been promoted to a charge nurse. You are excited! Then you have your first few days as a charge nurse, and you quickly figure out that you have not been equipped with the skills that you need to help your staff provide safe care, to help you organize the day, lead your staff, educate, role model, lead change, do evaluations, schedules, work with physicians and other providers, and stay on top of your game!
