Are there any hospitals where the leadership represent the nurses and advocate for them?

To your question you first must understand the administration hiring job description towards nursing leadership.
Some of the key responsibilities of a nurse leader include: Staying up to date on the latest healthcare research. Promoting and protecting patient health and safety. Working to shorten the average length of patient hospital stays and reduce readmission rates. Aiming to reduce healthcare costs by improving efficiency.
Nursing managers are responsible for managing day-to-day operations in nursing departments and supervising department staff. Leaders typically supervise nursing teams and ensure the overall success of the unit or hospital as a whole.
Their obligation is to administration first to represents creating plans and actions to achieve the objectives of the company. Management is the process of implementing these plans to achieve the final goal. Administrative functions are legislative in nature, whereas managerial functions are executive in nature.
The bottom line and final goal is company and money so NO in the true sense. Sadly it is not nurse and patient first, this is why you see the poor state nursing is in and why there is such a mask exodus from bedside nursing.
No
I don't feel like there is
I never get to see or hear about one. Work duties just keeps piling on, nursing to patient ratios in ICU no longer take acuity into consideration and nurses still make less than mechanics, carpenters and plumbers.
NOT IN FLORIDA
No, nurses are more likely to eat their own than to band together and advocate for one another. From witnessing and being on the receiving end of this behavior for years, I am now a supervisor and advocate for my nurses like I wish someone did for me. Happy nurses that feel valued and appreciated lead to happier patients, its a no brainer!
I’m sure they exist. If they’re owned by Prospect Medical holdings I can assure you the answer is no.
NO!!!
No. They are groomed by corporate and focus on the bottom line
Unitypoint Health-Des Moines Represents the nurses and fights for proper nurse/patient ratio and safety. The absolute best place I have ever worked.

Seiu-uhw advocates for healthcare workers in many states. being in the union gives us strength in numbers and offers so much!! I am an RN and Mri tech and have never received so much information and various leadership avenues to follow!! What state are you in?? Look for union jobs you will find so much information!! Good luck!!🍀
Not since medicine became a corporate entity. 😭
Absolutely NOT here in East TN.
I work for a system with 3 big hospitals and 100+ ambulatory clinics. The hospital side has nurse leadership but not the ambulatory side. It's sad, but I wish they did.
No, the administration is only interested in money. Nurses cost money to the organization and not interested in supporting them.
Sadly, over the 15 years I've be doing this, every hospital I go to has magnet designation and nurse involvement.... And then, Slowly phases it out, hiring only nurses who will do what management wants and who would never advocate for the nurses or, more importantly the patients. Safe staffing numbers, maximum ratios, scheduled time for orientation for new nurses, all going in the wrong direction.

Nope
Let yes Lifestream. In Leesburg Florida
I am sure there must be but I have never worked for one in 27 years of nursing
No and even if they tried they are bounded by HR or Employee Relations.
Not at mine, their only interest are patients and the money they bring
Hutchinson Regional Medical Center
Saddleback Memorial-we are a Magnet hospital and there is a huge emphasis placed on nursing satisfaction. Lots of opportunities for policy making and change and leadership RESPECTS the nurses!!!
Not that I’ve encountered.
