Another night of work without a break.

I have cover break for 4 nurses which will last from 2 am until 6 am.

That means I either take a break from 6-7 and not do my morning work, or I do my morning and work and get a half hour of overtime.

I am guessing the skipping of morning work would not fly to well.

I'm sorry for what you're going through; doesn't sound as if the charge nurse "is in charge" all that much. Shouldn't the break situation be her problem & not yours?

It's kind of sad that we have two charge nurses(there are two "pods" to the station) and quite often an ancillary(sp?) nurse, but they try their best some nights to get out of covering as many as they can. Last night I was assigned 4 and I think the aide on the other pod was also assigned 4. That's a third of our station when full, and we had at least 3 empty beds. Some charge nurses are worse then others though.
Thank you for your concern. I do feel a bit guilty, when measured against the drama you are going through. :o
