Nursing Leadership And Management

Nursing Leadership and Management, First Canadian Edition, is designed to help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to lead and manage nursing care delivery in the 21st century. Every nurse today must lead and manage nursing care delivery, and the need for nurse leaders and nurse managers in Canada's health care system has never been greater. Today's nurses need to have the competencies required for the 21st century, which calls for changes to nursing, medical, and other health care curricula. Some recommendations for the health care profession highlight the need for nurses to be educated in a broader way, including education in the areas of interdisciplinary teamwork, population-based health care, evidence-based practice, informatics, ethics, quality improvement, culture, and change, to name just a few. This text addresses many of these topics, along with others, to prepare you to become a successful nurse leader and manager in the modern Canadian health care system.
