Charge nurse schedules can often be demanding and unpredictable as you may be asked to stay over to cover or be on call in case of a staff member call-out. Now is the time to understand the expectations and discuss any flexibility and challenges you may have. Be open and honest about your availability.

"I understand that, as the charge nurse, I may have to work beyond my shift to cover a call-out or partial shift while coverage comes in. I'm pretty flexible with my schedule; however, the only days I cannot work beyond my shift are Wednesdays as my son has basketball those nights."

"I can come in earlier or stay later most days without concern; however, weekends are more of a challenge, and I would need as much notice as possible to make personal arrangements."
Working in a charge nurse role I understand the expectations to be flexible and available to assist when needed. I am usually always able to come in early or stay over, especially if I have advanced notice and can make arrangements.
