title: An update on nursing involvement in hospital governance: 1990-1996.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the nature and extent of nursing involvement in hospital governance in 1994; compare the 1994 level of involvement to 1990 levels; compare 1990 projections for 1995 to the actual state in 1994; and examine CNEs' projections of the nature and extent of involvement in 1996. The database compiled in the study and the author's earlier work (Havens, 1990, 1992) will assist in efforts to monitor nursing's status in hospital policy-making as monumental structural changes take place in health care organizations.
