Ms. P looks at the schedule and decides that the direct care nurse Ms. S is the best
choice. She’s also an excellent practitioner who can quickly find a middle ground to a solution
when it involves patient management and patient movement. With a sign of relief, Ms. P
thinks to herself, “Thank goodness I remembered to assign charge. What a disaster if I had
forgotten.” She pauses as she turns out the light to her office and says to herself, “I need to
get back here tomorrow morning to make sure that Ms. S and Dr. N get off to a positive start.”
