Nursing Administration

Detailed Features

Nursing Administration is designed to teach nursing students about the management process and leadership and to supply the practicing nurses with practical information about nursing administration. Management skills are as important to nursing administrators as their clinical knowledge and skills.

Nursing increasingly reflects the population it serves. The nursing profession derives from its ethnic, cultural, social, economic, and gender diversity, thereby enhancing its capacity to respond to the healthcare needs of people. It is, in fact, that the healthcare organizations of yesterday are the new organizations of today with complex needs. Nursing has a major role to play, so each and every nurse needs to be a leader and speaker for patients; to improve safety and quality care. It also provides inputs into the response to changes that are present every day in the healthcare delivery system and its multiple types of healthcare delivery organizations at all levels. In view of these needs, this book includes many teaching-learning features. It considers the needs of the student who enters the nursing program. This text is sequentially organized into 31 chapters; each chapter stands on its own merit and may be read independently of others. Every attempt has been made to maintain the simplicity and lucidity of language and style.
