As Chief Nursing Officers (CNO), we are responsible for planning, overseeing, and coordinating an organization's nursing department and its daily operations. We are mandated to ensure patient-care standards. We act as the primary spokesperson for nurses, aligning them with the mission, values and vision of the organization. We are frequently involved in implementing the budget for the nursing department. Some of our miscellaneous duties include creating nursing best practices and retention programs, establishing wages, planning patient services, recruiting and hiring staff, conducting performance assessments, and representing nurses at the organization. On a daily basis, we collaborate with physicians to ensure smooth workflow. We also work with senior management and cultivate relationships across functions and departments. Working as CNO, we are the closest link between physicians, nurses and hospital administrators.
