Introduction to Nursing Department Strategic Plan
A strategic plan is a document that outlines an organization's nursing department goals and how it plans to achieve them. It can be used for both short-term and long-term planning, and helps ensure that everyone in the organization is working towards the same objectives. A strategic plan should be updated regularly to reflect changes in the business environment or the organization's goals
