Hospital closure: reflections of a former nurse executive.
In this interview, a former nurse executive describes her experiences as she participated in the closing of a hospital. She describes the sequence of selected events, some of her feelings, and feelings that were experienced by staff as they continued to provide services while dismantling the organization. She associates these feelings with those that occur in crises associated with stressful events. Recommendations are offered that should be helpful to nurse executives in similar situations.
