"Leadership in Nursing Practice provides pre-licensure nursing students with the skillsets and tools they need to become strong leaders and active partners in healthcare. Straightforward and comprehensive, this text clearly distinguishes between leadership and management and emphasizes transition to practice applications that help prepare students for various leadership roles. Experienced authors guide students through topics such as the foundations of leadership, transitioning to the professional role, time management, fiscal/financial management, communication/negotiation, ethical decision making, career management, and more, but Leadership in Nursing Practice doesn't just talk about these concepts. This text goes a step further, challenging and empowering students to problem-solve and think critically about approaches to nursing practice and their own crucial partnership in the field of healthcare. Pedagogical tools such as case scenarios, reflective questions and critical thoughts are interspersed throughout the text, offering examples that are both relevant to practice and experiential in nature. Review questions based in AONE competencies round out each chapter, along with several appendices that bolster student comprehension with tips and tricks on topics like writing for publications and speaking from a podium, assessments for core skills like negotiation, and exercises that challenge students to think dynamically about what leadership looks like in various settings"-- Provided by publisher.
