The worldwide shortage of nurses means that nursing qualifications and experience are becoming more valued in every aspect of the modern nursing profession - including the rapidly emerging role of the nurse manager. It is likely that nearly all registered nurses will, at some stage in their careers, be required to 'manage' - even if this involves a relatively limited leadership role with only small number of colleagues. This book addresses the core issues associated with management, and is an essential primary text for all nurses as they develop their managerial skills. Nurse Managers: A Guide to Practice covers such issues as promotion, leadership and motivation, moral management, dealing with unhelpful staff, occupational health and safety, budgets, information technology, and many other vital issues in modern nurse management. In all these areas, the reader is offered a range of solutions and coping strategies for the issues that confront nurse managers every day.
