Description

The Textbook of Nursing Management and Leadership, previously called Management of Nursing Services and Education,
aims at implementing quality nursing education to achieve more effective nursing care and to satisfy the patients. With
completely revised and updated content, this textbook focuses on the VI semester (3rd year) nursing students to help
them administer quality care in all nursing care settings.
A leader in nursing is the need of the hour. The role of a nurse has expanded from that of a caregiver to a practitioner,
where every nursing student needs to be groomed to improve his or her administration and leadership skills. The textbook
has been updated and designed to guide students to become a multitasker and provide quality comprehensive nursing
care in any setting.
It covers all essential components, processes and techniques that help student nurses acquire the skills needed for
multitasking roles such as nurse manager, nurse administrator and nurse educator.
