Both of the authors are Fellows in the American Academy of Nursing and are the outstanding leaders in nursing that that indicates. There are 12 well qualified contributing authors and 22 storytellers who are leaders in nursing administration and education. There are 23 chapters of need- to-know information about such important topics as theories of administration, legal and ethical issues, caring, communications, team development, leadership, coaching, technology, finances and marketing, personnel development, relationships within and outside of the organization, regulation and quality control, and future of nursing administration. Chapters start with an appropriate and inspiring quote. Chapters have subtitle headings for easy identification of the content. They are supplemented with boxes, figures, and tables to help illustrate the content. The more traditional content of the chapter ends with a summary, key points, a literature box reviewing an important publication and contemplations to consider application of the content. That is followed by stories contributed by leaders in nursing. The chapter reference list is at the end of all of that. The leader stories are a unique and strong part of this book. The book was written to build on the foundations in Leading and Managing in Nursing but can be used as a supplement to any nursing administration or health care administration book. It is appropriate for graduate nursing students.

This is one of the most helpful and interesting nursing books to come out in the last several years. All my friends (nurses at least) will be getting this for Christmas, birthdays, etc. Pat Yoder-Wise was recently voted 'Outstanding Teacher' by the graduate students at her university. Her book is equally outstanding.

Product as described. Good communication skills from seller. Shipping time was slow. It took almost 3 weeks to ship a book to Iowa. I would purchase from this seller again.....if you have a time constraints.....Perhaps clarify shipping times prior to purchasing. If you don't have time issues.....he's a good communicator and his prices are fair.

Simply great for beginners. It's clear and understandable; can relate to and is applicable to real life situations.

I did not receive my original product; however, Amazon quickly responded and sent a replacement out ASAP.
