Nursing Leadership & Management
"The course faculty chose this text because we felt that it spoke well to the new graduate nurse. This text gives excellent examples of the importance of leadership and management content from a perspective that is more easily understood when compared to other leadership texts that we considered. Content is clear and understandable. Speaks to the nurse at many levels of the organization. Provides evidence-based support in each chapter. His use of several authors with expertise in the content area heightens the appeal to this text."Tina Saunders, MSN, RN, CNE Kent State University, College of Nursing, Kent, Ohio"Level of material was absolutely right on point. It is extremely readable with definitions and examples provided and is broken up nicely with tables, etc. to clarify topics. There was a great deal of new material regarding collective bargaining, etc. that I had not seen to that extent in other texts. The activities throughout and at the end of chapters would make this a very instructor friendly text. The grouping at the end of each chapter for web resources was also much appreciated. I enjoyed the real world interviews and evidence-based literature sections very much; believe they could initiate a great deal of class discussion. Again the text was extremely easy to read; flowed well from topic to topic and was thoroughly covered following each heading.The chapter organization was done well.  Beginning with the historical background or current background and then moving from theory to actual practice was very viable and students could easily follow and understand. There were many practical on-the-job sections…"Jaclynn A. Johnson, RNC-OB, MSN, Otero Junior College
