New grad to charge nurse
I’m still a new grad, just barely hit one year anniversary working and they’ve been putting me as charge nurse. It’s been overwhelming and the added stress isn’t great. I have limited experience and when other nurses have questions I feel bad when I don’t have the answer. Charge nurses should be experienced and seasoned nurses to their units. I guess it’s just timing with being short staffed and the holidays but it’s been a lot. Im scared that I’m starting to get burnt out this soon since I’ve only been working for a year. Also I was in nursing school during early COVID with little to no in person clinical experiences. Just my little rant and I hope I’m not alone feeling like this right now
