How to become a CNO????

Hi, I am a first year nursing student and was wondering if anyone could tell me a little about the CNO profesion. I was online last night exploring different nursing profesions and stumbled across this title. Up until then I had never even heard of it and I am having trouble finding out about what the job involves and what the school requirements are. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!!:wink2:

Is CNO the same thing as a DON? Basically the big boss? Chief Nursing Officer is the way I have heard it. No clue what all it entails though.

When I worked at a regional psychiatric hospital, the CNO (chief nursing officer) was an RN with a MSN degree (master of science in nursing). In most cases, you'd need to earn your BSN degree (bachelor of science in nursing) to even be eligible for most CNO positions since it is considered a high level of nursing management. Read a job description below:

Plans, organizes motivates, controls activities and administers areas of Patient Care Services to attain the hospital's objectives established by the CEO. Consults with and provides advice to the CEO on various issues relating to the hospital and recommends changes in policies, organizational structure, equipment and programs in order to achieve the institution's goals and objectives. Provide positive leadership, direction, and administration of assigned area hospital operations. Participates in the Board of Trustee and Medical Staff Department meetings and develops a monthly report.
