Great book for all nursing administrators

This book is a must-have for all those in nursing administration. It is helpful for nurse leaders at all levels, from charge nurse to chief executives. I will use it well beyond the class I brought it for.

Management and Leadership for Nurse Administrators 4th ed by Roussel, L. (Ed.), Swansburg, R.C. &

The book previously written by Russell C. Swansburg, consultant in nursing and hospital administration, and Richard J. Swansburg, systems software specialist, was edited by Linda Roussel, Associate Professor of Nursing, for this 4th edition. Eleven chapters were done by contributing authors. The book has 19 chapters: 1. Conceptualization of nursing administration: Theory and concepts; 2. Emotional intelligent leadership in nursing and health care organizations; 3. Ethical principles for the nurse administrator; 4. The components of change: Creativity and innovation, critical thinking, and planned change; 5. Decision making and problem solving: Communication practices and skills; 6. Organizational structure and analysis; 7. Leadership and evidence-based management; 8. Human resource development: Managing a culturally diverse work force; 9. The planning process; 10. Staffing and scheduling; 11. Principles of budgeting; 12. The directing process; 13. eNursing; 14. Health policy, legal, and regulatory issues; 15. Collective bargaining; 16. Evaluation; 17. Quality management; 18. Performance appraisal; and 19. The nurse manager and staff development. Ethical issues for nurse administrators and emotional intelligence for professional nursing administrative practice were added to this 4th edition while other chapters were updated and streamlined. Each chapter starts with learning objectives and activities. There are colored exhibits throughout. Chapters end with application exercises, notes, and references. Some chapters have appendix. The book ends with an index. This is a 498 page 8 ½ by 11 inch book. I find it difficult to hold and read, so I put it on a table to read it. The book covers the management process of planning, organizing, directing and evaluating and is organized around the Scope and Standards for Nurse Administrators. It is appropriate to use to teach undergraduate and graduate students about nursing administration and for staff development.
