NURSING ADMINISTRATION
b. Give your honest comment (both pros and cons) on the centralization
of the delivery of health services in your own organization. How this
situation affects your productivity in relation to fiscal management?
(For those who are working in the private sector).
I own a family business for more than three generations. We have more than
40 employees working since my grandfather was the one managing.
BESIDES MY FATHER, I am the decision maker in all department so I
guess everything that’s been done and implemented are carried out fast with
out channeling to different department heads. Being centralized can be tiring
too. Since every department of yours has to report and channel their
problems to you, it gives you power and awareness however. Since you are
aware that’s everything’s going on to the company. Same banana with the
delivery of health services in the private sector. It is tiring, every detail of
the legwork must be known by you but on the other hand, you are fully
aware of whats going on in the company.
2. Discuss how the course fiscal management may help you in your a) professional
development and b) personal development.
Fiscal Management provides budgeting and accounting support to the
Agency. The unit is responsible for development of the Agency's annual
budget, from initial planning to final passage by the General Assembly and
approval by the Governor.
Other duties include: monitoring Agency spending and payment of bills for
travel expenditures, equipment and commodities; timely deposit of Agency-
generated receipts including boiler, underground storage tank, and elevator
fees; filing necessary budget, performance revenue and expenditure reports
with the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, the Office of the
Comptroller, and the Office of the State Treasurer; maintaining fiscal
records for audit and review.
Fiscal manager is incompetent. Ergo, the whole company suffers with this
plight. Solution. Change the fiscal manager. Ganun lang kasimple.
2. If given the chance to be the nurse administrator in the Nursing division in your
own organization, what area you shall give priority in the allocation of your
financial resources. Why? Justify your answer.
Giving priority for the allocation of financial resources varies from time to
time. There are a lot of things needed for the budget but to use them all, one
must think of emergency funding in case it would be needed.
There’s so many more that a company needs budget allocation. That’s why
yearly, we review our budget proposal. It discuss there what amount is
allocated to which area, and which area should receive less.

6. As you evaluate the financial status of your own organization. What does it imply
in terms of:
a) operations (day to day) management
Personally, this is the most routinal chore but crucial to do. You have to
oversee daily and every input and output of finance. You have to check your
inventory and expirations if there’s any. You have to monitor for possible
damages, internally or external forces. You have to assist your staff if they
are doing to work assignments right. Mistakes can be costly too.
b) financing decisions
Financial decisions come from departmental heads. This is where we discuss
budget allocation, out sourcing funds, sponsorships, opening of company
stocks and shares to the public (IPO).
c) investment decisions
If the company earns that much in a year, leaders abd managers decide on
where to put their excess earnings. Others might suggest to pour it over their
company shares for a bigger holding. Others, would might wish to invest in
a new company or venture. Others, with an eye for assurance would opt to
have it cashed the earnings.
7. Explain this statement, “If we do what is right for the patients, financial well-
being of the organization will follow”.
That is true to any service oriented business. Anything that its being served
right will cause ripples. And soon enough, customers or patients will be
flowing in for more of that service. Unlike in the business of selling goods,
service oriented businesses is subjective, personalized and therefore unique.
