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.
