Picture this ...


Your patient’s condition has worsened.

The family is very upset at the situation, and things start to escalate.

The patient’s mother condescendingly asks to speak to the charge nurse.

You slowly look around, and realize … it’s you.

Maybe you've been a nurse for two years. You've wanted to become a preceptor and a charge nurse as the next step in your professional development. While precepting was intimidating, it seemed like a doable task – not like becoming a charge nurse. Being in charge felt different.

Charge nurses are on display. Everyone is watching… waiting for you to tell them what to do, but also simultaneously annoyed they’re being told what to do.  


You know the charge nurses you absolutely love working with, and the ones you absolutely detest seeing on the schedule … but it was really hard to really see the distinct differences between them. It can feel like it's next to impossible to figure out how to embody it yourself.

You are keenly aware of what everyone expects of charge nurses…

  • To know the right answer
  • To know how to lead
  • To handle delicate, highly charged, or clinically complex situations - all with the same degree of care and ease

From the outside, it looks very straight forward: People are either ready and cut out for this, or they’re not. But the reality is a lot messier than that. Many have the potential to be phenomenal charge nurses, but are so intimidated that they just count themselves out.


Have you ever felt like this?

Are you concerned you don’t have what it takes?

Spoiler alert: You do!


What if you could embrace the learning process and become that charge nurse that everyone is utterly relieved to see on the schedule?

From Kati Kleber, MSN RN

Hi, I'm Kati Kleber, and I've been a nurse since 2010. I've worked in cardiac med-surg and neurocritical care, and held multiple leadership positions. (Click here to learn more about me!)

I remember what it was like to be intimidated by the thought of being a charge nurse. I’d love to share with you what I’ve learned over the years working as a charge nurse myself, observing many others with various weaknesses and strengths, and holding different leadership roles in different capacities.

While you’ll absolutely learn on the fly at work, I want you to walk into your first shift as a charge nurse with all of my experience and lessons I learned the hard way as well. You’ll be miles ahead of where I was, because you’ll have realistic expectations and a solid structure for growth – and, you won’t be your own worst enemy, like I was!

I look forward to helping you grow into the unit’s favorite charge nurse
