MSN6216 Unit 9 Preparing and Managing a Capital Budget

This assignment provides an opportunity for you develop a capital budget for a major facility improvement that will benefit patients, nurses, and the organization.

Scenario

You are the unit manager of a 50-bed, step-down unit, and it is time for you to prepare your annual capital budget. You have seen a significant turnover in your nursing staff in the past three years. A review of exit interviews and patient surveys indicates low nurse satisfaction, poor morale, and complaints of an antiquated and depressing work environment. You have researched the impact of a positive working environment on staff productivity and morale and decided to request a renovation of the nurses’ lounge as the main purchase in your capital budget. You will present your request as a quality improvement investment.

Assemble your budget figures in a table, using a format of your choice. You may use either Microsoft Word or Excel to create your budget table
