New Book Gives Nursing Students Blueprint for Becoming Leaders

Kaiser Permanente nurse leader and innovation expert Daniel Weberg, PhD, MHI, RN, is lead author in the new title Leadership in Nursing Practice. From the book’s website:

Leadership in Nursing Practice: Changing the Landscape of Healthcare, Third Edition, gives nursing students the opportunity to develop the leadership skill set they will need to succeed in the field. The text acknowledges that not all nurses will be managers, but that all, regardless of career path, will be leaders. The Third Edition focuses on current leadership, innovation, and organization theory and prepares students for a transition into leadership positions. It also explores time management, finance and fiscal management, communication and negotiation, ethical decision making, career management, and much more.
