Managing during times of uncertainty. Part II--Long-term strategies.

Abstract

It could be argued that uncertainty is currently part and parcel of most businesses. The degree of uncertainty may vary at times, but many occupational health nurse managers learn to live with a degree of insecurity in their jobs, and with the service they manage. The strategies discussed in this column can help occupational health nurses manage their departments more efficiently under the best of circumstances, and help identify strategies to use in times of increased uncertainty.
