Lake Sumter State College Leadership in Nursing Budgetary Requests Discussion
Description
You are a nurse manager at a local post-acute care nursing facility. Today is April 1, and you have received the budget printout (above) for your department. Your charge nurses are requesting an additional RN on day and evening shifts since acuity has increased dramatically over the last 2 years. (The average annual salary without benefits would be $65,000). Dr. Richardson has requested two new continuous passive motion (CPM) machines ($3000 each) for post-operative orthopedic patients. In addition, you would like to attend a national orthopedics conference in New York in August (projected cost $1500). The $650 conference registration fee is due now.
Initial Post
Based on the budget print-out, how will you handle these requests? Be specific (who will you talk to, when, what will you say?). Also, consider which expenses can be deferred to the next fiscal year. In what budgeting area (cost center) were your previous projections most accurate? Most inaccurate? Use a minimum of two assigned module readings to discuss what factors may have contributed to these inaccuracies. Were they controllable or predictable? How did these factors influence your decision?
