The personnel budget (the workforce)is the largest of the budget expenditures in nursing because health care is labor intensive and the operating budget runs a close second (cost of supplies, electricity, repairs, and maintenance). Respond to the following scenario As the nurse manager in a busy area hospital, you must plan your operating budget. You are aware that staff occasionally bring home supplies. You also remember doing this when you were a staff nurse and did not realize this impacted the hospital. Recently your budget has revealed a dramatic increase in missing supplies (blood pressure cuffs, gauze, lotion etc.). Although this is only a portion of your operating budget, you feel identifying where these supplies are going is necessary. 1. What action should be used to determine who is taking supplies? 2. Should nurses report other nurses for taking supplies? Why or why not? 3. Is the amount of fiscal debt worth your time and energy to try to eliminate this problem
