I am a charge nurse in a small community hospital emergency room.
My main duties are to, basically, get the patients in and out of the department in a timely manner.
I assign patients to rooms/nurses. I resolve disputes about which staff needs to be where for whatever reason. I do lots of paper/computer work and answer an insane number of phone calls.
I also assist the other nurses in whatever way I can and I am the primary backup for a nurse that has a very sick patient.
