Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing: Theory and Application (Marquis, Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing) (Paperback)
This book is fantastic! I've never said that about any of my nursing textbooks. The chapters are very easy to follow, the topics are very interesting, and the learning exercises make for great class discussions. I love this book and will be happy to hold on to it long after graduation.
