According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the need for nurses across all specialties will grow by 6% through the year 2031, and the demand for Charge Nurses, with their unique characteristics and capabilities, will likely be even greater.
Charge Nurses oversee specific departments and are responsible for the many details that make a unit run smoothly. While Charge Nurses have bedside responsibilities, they are also the person who coordinates the schedules and assigns each nurse’s duties and responsibilities.
