This review is from: Essentials of Nursing Leadership & Management (Paperback)

This book is really helpful in seeing what managers and supervisors go through. It is a smaller book that gets to the point without reading through a bunch of unnecessary filler words.

Norma L. Cruz (Palmdale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Essentials of Nursing Leadership & Management (Paperback)

This is a very good book. It is very easy to follow and not as boring as others. It has pretty good tables which are easy understand and the study questions are a plus. I like the fact that every chapter has a self-assessment test before you start reading it. It makes you think before you even get into the chapter.
