Nurse managers are responsible for managing one or more defined areas of patient care services. Nurse managers advocate for and allocate available resources to promote efficient, effective, safe, and compassionate nursing care based on current standards of practice. They promote shared decision-making and professional autonomy by providing input - their own and that of their staff - into executive-level decisions, and by keeping staff informed of executive level activities and vice versa.

The Observation Unit is a 23 bed unit, adjacent to the emergency department, and provides specialized care for patients presenting with symptoms of a heart attack, including the monitoring necessary to evaluate a patient's need for cardiac intervention or admission as an inpatient.
