Charge nurses are typically responsible for unit oversight on their designated shift, ensuring operations run smoothly. Responsibilities range from caring for patients and overseeing the clinical staff to managing the staff schedule and finding coverage for callouts. If you have worked as a charge nurse in a nursing home setting before, describe your responsibilities. If you are new to this type of facility, read the job description and discuss your responsibilities in other settings, like a hospital, doctor's office, etc., that would demonstrate experience and transferable skills.
