"The purpose of The Educational Process in Nursing Staff Development is to provide nurse educators with a single reference that describes both traditional elements of educational theory and practice together with a competency-based approach for application of that theory and practice to contemporary nursing staff development.

some of these reasons account for the book's substantial emphasis on basic principles of education and adult education and others account for its focus on competency-based approaches to nursing staff development.....
..... The primary audience for this book is nursing staff development educators and managers.
Others who will find the book useful include directors of nursing staff development, human resource educators, unit instructors, preceptors, nurse managers, and directors of nursing at small- and medium-sized healthcare facilities.
The content is also highly relevant for master's degree programs in nursing that prepare nurse educators, clinical nurse specialists, nurse managers, or other advanced practitioners for their educator role or subrole.

Throughout the book, I have attempted to present material in a clear, direct, and organized manner that will enable readers to readily understand and immediately use the information in their work.
Because nursing staff development educators are busy people with a multitude of functions and obligations, I HAVE TRIED TO BE BOTH COMPREHENSIVE AND PRAGMATIC in blending theory with reality and in providing sufficient examples so that both aquisition and integration of this material are facilitated....."
