Discussion # 1
Theoretical Models of Nursing Leadership
You are the nurse manager on a busy medical-surgical unit. You have been requested to attend a hospital administration meeting with your Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) and the hospital Chief Financial Officer. The CNO explains that nurse−patient staffing ratios on every unit are being increased, and your ratios must also increase by 1-2 patients on both the day and night shift. The CNO assures you this is a temporary issue due to the seasonal high census, and this decision is not open for debate. You are shocked and don’t know how to respond initially.
