Dear Charge Nurse

Thanks for sitting on your lazy arse and pontificating about how "short" you really are today.

I will not create safety hazards because you just don't think I need the help in the SU. I will be happy to put your name on the accident report should the need arise.

Thankfully, one of the unlicensed staff shows more nursing judgment than you can. She rocks. Don't worry. I made sure to tell your manager how good SHE really is in a nice, glowing letter.

You. Not exactly the same...just saying, when they say the charge nurse is ultimately responsible for safety on a shift, they mean it.

Sincerely not,

RehabRN
