Seriously, does anybody believe that a chief nursing officer has time for patients? In the real world, even the nurses have to make an appointment to see her.
Where is your budget headache Christina?
How many JCAHO issues do you have on your plate to resolve?
What sort of feathers are you pursuing for the nursing caps? Magnet? Speciality certifications? Anything???
In all the hospitals I've worked, I have NEVER seen the CNO on a first name basis with patients and families or even the staff beyond her circle of management nurses. If a family has a complaint, it goes to the patient care advocate, not the CNO. Sure, RN is the first in the list of alphabet soup behind her name, but you can bet your *** you'll find MBA in there too. CNO is not a "nurse" position, it is an executive position.
Ridiculous show and an insult to real nurses who get how it is in the real world.
