With the increase in for-profit, multi-hospital, corporate systems, a new nursing role has evolved: that of corporate nurse consultant.

It also describes the corporate nurse consultant's responses to integrating corporate imperatives with the needs of individual institutions. Suggestions are offered for enhancing the relationship between the corporate nurse consultant and an institution's nurse executive.

Most of the world's population is rural and 45% of all United States hospitals are small or located outside of urban centers. The interdependence of rapidly changing rural communities and hospitals is described in this study of nursing directors' jobs. Findings provide needed information about the challenges and demands of nursing administration in small organizations useful for development of curriculums sensitive to values, politics, and economies; and for all nurse executives eager to understand the complexity of decisions and actions, whether in small organizations or in large multi-institutional systems compromising hospitals of varying sizes.

摘要:

When nursing administrators make a decision to close nursing units and displace staff nurses, nursing staff respond with feelings of anger and demoralization. Instituting a Displacement Orientation Program (DOP) can positively affect the staff nurses' level of anger, independence, innovation, self-confidence, and productivity. This article presents a research based DOP used to minimize staff reactions and maximize staff adjustments to displacement.
