Identify a healthcare center, hospital, or nursing institute of higher education that is the workplace of your selected nurse leader interviewee and write a two- to three-page (one page should consist of the Scalar diagram) essay on the main components listed.

Scalar Chain Diagram of Healthcare Administration
Include a Scalar chain diagram of the healthcare administration team as the final page of your essay. Include in the organization’s hierarchy, the facility President and CEO, the Chief Nursing Officer, and continue down the line.
