Nursing and finance: making the connection.
Nursing and finance are critical to each other's success in maintaining financial viability and providing high-quality care. Finance departments should educate, inform, communicate, and empathize. Nursing departments should think creatively, get involved in budget committees and board meetings, and set an example of collaboration and cooperation.
