Essentials of Nursing Leadership and Management

We are delighted to bring our readers this second edition of Essentials of Nursing Leadership and Management. We designed our textbook to help the new graduate make the transition to professional nursing practice. This textbook focuses on the staff nurse as a vital member of the healthcare team and manager of patient care. As a manager of care, the staff nurse must have the knowledge and skills necessary to make decisions on setting priorities, delegation, quality improvement, legal parameters of nursing practice, and ethical issues confronting nursing today.
Based on input from students, faculty, and reviewers, we enhanced the topic of delegation and included these issues as a separate chapter. We updated the
chapter on workplace issues and included the most recent information on and relevant examples of latex allergies, needlestick injuries, and back injuries.
This book also provides comprehensive, practical information on developing a nursing career. Workplace issues such as change, conflict management, safety, stress, burnout, and cultural diversity are addressed in an easy-to-understand style
