Sounds like what we call Director of Nursing.

Chief Nursing Officer is a title they give here (Oz) to the lead senior nurse - also in the UK - who act as advisor to the government.

Incidentally, I am neither.

But I have a staff of 4 and a water machine to manage. How can I help?

Thank you for your comment. I appreciated it.

I`ve a 7 year of experience in nursing field. But i`ve just started this new position. Anyhow, it`s okay for me "Director of Nursing Services ".

Hope to see more comments. thanks
