Being an assistant nurse manager is a challenging position. You’re basically overseeing everything in the unit. You’re responsible for every single patient, mentoring and coaching nurses and patient care techs, budgeting and scheduling. Any questions come to you. It’s very busy, but it’s also very rewarding.
