The edge of chaos: caring and the bottom line.
Nurse managers need to provide quality health care within a framework of human caring with limited economic resources. Seeking only "bottom line" solutions would seriously affect the well-being of nurses and clients. On the other hand, seeking only human caring solutions would seriously influence the well-being of health care organizations. A composite model balances economics or the "bottom line" and human caring.
