setting. Some minimal qualifications include having a minimum of a masters degree in nursing,

nationally certified as a nurse executive, and have a proven track record for achieving goals.

others and set High expectations for achieving goals.

includes ensuring that patients are safe in the hospital and have access to the right medical

care. In order to do this, they must work close with hospital management and stakeholders to

acquire and gain access to appropriate resources. The chief nursing officer is also responsible

for formulating and implementing new nursing strategies. This requires extensive knowledge of

the nursing procedures, rules and policies. They oversee the hospital and ensure it is running

appropriately. This includes organizing, directing, and coordinating medical and health services

in compliance with government regulations and policies from boards. The CNO leadership

duties go beyond the scope of nursing to serve as a spokesperson or representative. The CNO

also works to maintain positive relationships between nurses and physicians.
