Synopsis

When the whole unit turns to you, you need answers you can find fast.

Being the charge nurse means balancing staffing, patient flow, difficult assignments, deteriorating patients, provider calls, family concerns, emergencies, delegation, and team conflict—often at the same time.
The Charge Nurse Pocket Guide is built for those moments.
Designed as a point-of-need reference for med-surg unit leaders, this practical guide helps you move quickly from the problem in front of you to the leadership, clinical, or safety action you need.
Inside, you’ll find:

• Practical guidance for staffing, assignments, acuity, short staffing, float nurses, and break coverage
• Clear frameworks for delegation, supervision, scope of practice, and the Five Rights of Delegation
• Fast-reference tools for SBAR, I-PASS, closed-loop communication, CUS words, escalation, and chain of command
• Step-by-step support for rapid response, Code Blue, sepsis, stroke, chest pain, respiratory failure, arrhythmias, bleeding, and other time-critical conditions
• Guidance for admissions, transfers, discharge, throughput, bed flow, and difficult patient placement decisions
• High-yield coverage of medication safety, infection prevention, falls, pressure injuries, restraints, behavioral health, workplace violence, and patient rights
• Real-world help with team leadership, new nurses, conflict, feedback, documentation, legal risk, regulatory readiness, surge, and disaster situations
• Repeatable Action, Decision/Tool, and Situation formats that make information easy to scan during a busy shift
• Quick-reference tables and clinical benchmarks gathered together for rapid lookup
• QR-linked audio references at the back of the book

The manuscript covers the complete rhythm of charge nursing—from taking report and building assignments through emergencies, documentation, leadership, regulatory readiness, disaster response, and end-of-shift handoff.
Whether you are taking charge for the first time or want a dependable reference beside you during a demanding shift, this guide is built to help you lead with greater structure, clarity, and confidence.

Keep the Charge Nurse Pocket Guide within reach before your next shift.
