title: Contract management. Filling the void created by CNE vacancies.
abstract: Contract management can provide interim chief nurse executives (CNEs) during the search process for a permanent executive. Experienced and effective, interim nursing executives can communicate to all audiences, prepare the organization for the next permanent nursing executive, and their presence avoids problems that arise during a long recruitment period. Typically, interim nursing executives find that working through contract management is a rewarding and challenging experience.
