0 a nurse who is responsible for a particular part of a hospital
The very first week in school we were taught that when entering a elevator, make sure that the doctor entered first, then the intern, then the charge nurse.
There are cases where one charge nurse is the first name on upwards of 30 accounts.
Staff nurses, charge nurses and sisters receive no pay for overtime but most of them receive equivalent time off in a subsequent period.
Nursing staff, up to and including ward sisters and charge nurses, receive overtime payments at plain time rates.
Ward sisters and charge nurses grade 6 have nine increments compared with three or four in other grades.
Patients were identified as eligible by a physician or the charge nurse and a research assistant then explained the aim of the study to the patients with an information sheet.
For instance, he will consult the charge nurse on the patient's ward, but not every nurse on the ward.
Later he left the ward again and his charge nurse absented himself with him.
