Summary:
Budgeting can feel intimidating for nurses, including experienced nurse leaders who confidently manage complex patient care challenges every day. This virtual course makes budgeting for nurses more approachable by helping participants view financial information as a story. By learning how to interpret the numbers, participants can better understand the plot, identify the key details, and determine what the financial story means for their department.
Nurse managers are often closest to the people, resources, and daily operations that shape financial outcomes. Through this course, participants will explore how budgeting decisions affect staff, patients, departmental operations, and the broader healthcare organization. They will gain practical knowledge that can help them interpret financial information, communicate more confidently about budgets, and connect financial data to the realities of nursing leadership.
• 8 Contact hours will be awarded to individuals who complete all of the modules, attend at least 70% of the live sessions, and complete an evaluation.
• Creative Health Care Management is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
