Title overview

Leadership and Management for Nurses prepares every nurse to be a leader. Author Anita Finkelman examines critical issues in healthcare from the perspective of nursing leadership and management.

Using a quality-based framework of the Institute of Medicine (IOM)/National Academy of Medicine (NAM), the text focuses on five core competencies: provide patient-centered care, work in interprofessional teams, employ evidence-based practice, apply quality improvement and utilize informatics.

The 5th Edition adds significant new content exploring the complexities of nursing leadership in a changing healthcare system. An evolving case study, updated for this edition, immerses students in a virtual hospital unit experience.
