Nursing Leadership For Patient Centered Care is revolutionary and courageous. It brings to light troubling issues that exist in nursing management and patient care.
Unlike other texts, it uses plain day-to day language and highlights the importance of authenticity, presence, intuition, sensitivity, and methods to reveal and eliminate problems and attain ongoing excellence both at the bedside and in many management and leadership functions. References are unusual in that they not only refer to contemporary experts in the fields of nursing and business but also hearken back to surprising resources that keep the reader's attention and interest.
“I really like it. Good topics and issues. The vignettes provide great examples that could lead to rich classroom or workshop discussions. Perfect for leadership/management courses and in health care organizations...”
“I can envision the book being used for RN to BSN classes and for ongoing discussions among nurse managers in an organization that is trying to be more patient-centered and/or a nursing dept trying to develop its frontline managers, I certainly recommend it.”
“Forman reminds us that nurse managers were often great staff nurses, and the care they gave to patients should be shared with others. Each chapter of this book teaches nurses how to make patient-centered care a priority.”
“This book should be read by every nurse manager. Nursing students and faculty will benefit from reading it as well.”
