Nurses running hospitals is not new. Florence Nightingale could be considered the first hospital administrator. What is changing is the growth of RN chief executive officers (CEOs), from 10% in 2004 to 18% in 2010. Furthermore, nearly 20% of chief nursing officers (CNOs) aspire to be CEOs. Is this a natural growth of CNO to vice president of patient care services to chief operating officer...to RN CEO? The research on RN CEOs is very small. Therefore, the author set out to obtain a journalistic snapshot of Arizona's 12 hospital RN CEOs through interviews. Of the 12, 3 were corporate CEOs at the system level, they saw over several hospitals, and 9 were CEOs over 1 to 2 hospitals. This article discusses some of the finding from these interviews.
护士管理医院并非新鲜事。弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔可被视为首位医院管理者。正在发生变化的是注册护士担任首席执行官（CEO）的比例，从2004年的10%增长到了2010年的18%。此外，近20%的护士长（CNO）渴望成为首席执行官。这是从护士长自然成长为患者护理服务副总裁、首席运营官……再到注册护士首席执行官的过程吗？关于注册护士首席执行官的研究非常少。因此，作者通过采访对亚利桑那州12位医院注册护士首席执行官进行了一次新闻式的简要了解。在这12人中，3人是系统层面的企业首席执行官，负责多家医院，9人是1至2家医院的首席执行官。本文讨论了这些采访中的一些发现。
