Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

Was approved for an apartment that was originally listed as no-fee, but just heard from the broker the building isn’t paying the broker’s fee so we would have to pay it.

Is there any way whereby we can search vacancies in projects or we have to accept whatever offered to us?
