First... someone let's them get away with it. Their boss likely does not care as someone else is on a power trip. Take your concerns up the chain of command.

Charge nurses make staff assignments and on some occasions, they make bad decisions . . . a nursing shift can drift into any direction . . . there is no control in the idea of how a free flowing shift can go . . . often, there is no 'free flowing nursing care unit . . . My suggestion is this idea . . . when encountering problems or discrepancy in assignment to patients and families, openly communicate your concern . . . in years of practice, I have spoken up because an assignment made by a charge nurse may not be a safe one . . . it's important to evaluate number of staff and the number of critically ill patients in order to provide the best care possible . . . and many times, it means learning to work together in order to orchestrate nursing care that you can all be proud of, always . . .
