The nursing budget

Published

Help me understand "the nursing budget". What is included in it? When you became a DON, how much experience did you have with the budget? What is your role in managing the budget?

I'm guessing the biggest part of the buget is nursing hours with OT and agency (in places that use it) are the biggest part?

I just ask, becasue we are constantly hearing about how staffing needs to be cut and our PPD is too high. I tend to agree that the nursing hours are out of control. Too much OT due to call offs, not replacing staff and the incrimental OT.

So, what else?

One day i will take the plunge again but............
