Reply to comment by triceratropes in TIFU by calling a hospital code by justrightkinda

What level of nursing? I know RNs with their bachelors have multiple rotations. And I can’t imagine that an associate’s level RN would be able to graduate without any rotations or get a charge nurse position with only 3 mo experience.

She's a BSN. So she wasn't hired as a charge nurse, at my facility all nurses share charge duties. She also didn't immediately start day one as charge, when you get hired you get at least eight weeks of training and nurses have to be OK'd by the nurse manager before they can be charge. At the time we were short two nurses so I wouldn't be surprised if they expedited her approval for charge duties.
