If used appropriately, they can be both productive and cost-effective to the nursing organization. Nurse managers need to address the following issues: when to look for outside assistance; how to select the appropriate nursing consultant; what to expect from a consulting engagement; and how to evaluate the performance of a consultant.

Behind closed doors. What the nurse executive should know about surgical services.

Many nurse executives have never worked in the operating room (OR) and are often told they "don't understand" by the surgical services director. Often, nurse executives do not have the surgical background required to make informed decisions about problems associated with surgical services. The authors provide insight into issues that exist in the OR environment and present strategies for improving nurse executives' relationships with the OR staff, management, and surgeons.
