Practical

As a professor of nursing leadership, this is a very practical text for students. I use it as an adjunct for graduate students who have found it very useful.

Excellent reference!

As an Executive Director of Nursing Business Operations at a large (900+ bed) acute care hospital, I work with nurse leaders on a daily basis about finance/operational issues. I refer to this book on a regular basis and recommend it to all of our nurse managers. It's not a big to sit and read cover to cover, but reading through key chapters (those of interest to you or where you want to learn more) is so valuable. I go back and refer to different chapters/sections as the need arises. It is written by a CFO and CNO; they well balance the business and clinical perspectives for nurse leaders (managers, directors, senior level executives). References are cited throughout the text which I find very helpful; nurse leaders continue to be driven by evidence based practice--certainly that can also apply to the business side. As the title says, this book merges the heart with the dollar. I highly recommend it; it is the best book I have read on this topic. It sits right on my desk!

Excellent resource

I've found this book to be a wonderful resource for nurse leaders with materials that go far beyond the financial management aspects indicated by the title. The contributing authors do a great job of articulating why nursing leaders must be financially savvy and build a great case for why financial resources must be made available to provide quality care.

finance 101

I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is a nurse manager/executive or has aspirations to be. This book is informative and entertaining and gives the information that you need to know in a way that is easily understood and able to be put to immediate practical use.
