A Caring Approach in Nursing Administration [Hardcover]

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0870814788 | ISBN-13: 978-0870814785 | Publication Date: October 15, 1998 | Edition: 1

This work by Dr Jan Nyberg is guided by a lifelong career of administration and management that is informed by deeper human dimensions of caring, and more lasting approaches to change than quick-fix, economic take overs. Jan Nyberg, an experienced nursing administrator, scholar, and educator, knows another way-from the inside out rather than the outside in. She brings forth her wisdom and knowledge, experiences, and insights so that others may now grasp another way to transform systems for delivery of human caring and healing. This work informs, instructs, and inspires; it invites nurse leaders and other health administrators to reach for what might be, rather than succumbing to what already is.

This review is from: A Caring Approach in Nursing Administration (Hardcover)

Though a little dated, (1999), this book hits at the essence of nursing, which is caring. The author shares great insight from her personal journey in nursing administration. This book hits home with me as a nurse, and it helps explain some of the frustration I see in staff nurses. Every nurse in an administrative position should read this book to remind them of the importance of caring for both patients and staff.

What an excellent book. Even though it is not the newest book I have purchased it is one I intend to read completely and keep for my library. The author talks in the first person so you know she is relating each chapter through personal experience.
