Nursing Management: Principles and Practice

Oncology nursing management demands tremendous expertise, commitment, and the ability to manage a complex and important set of responsibilities. As key members of their healthcare teams, nurse managers are responsible for recruiting, developing, counseling, mentoring, and retaining their nursing staffs. With health reform legislation looming and a diverse set of challenges presenting themselves each day, nursing management has never been more complicated and nursing leaders need resources and tools to support the constantly shifting demands in healthcare management. The second edition of Nursing Management: Principles and Practice provides an in-depth review of general and oncology nursing management principles to guide the practice and development of nurse managers involved with cancer care. Editor Mary Magee Gullatte, a respected leader in oncology nursing and management, has once again recruited an expert roster of leaders in nursing practice, research, and management to provide you with a diverse and comprehensive picture of nursing management. This second edition features 46 chapters and nearly 1,000 pages, nearly 40 percent larger than the last edition.
