Book excerpt: This brief but important book is designed to augment your leadership education and experience. It is also designed for a busy clinician who does not have the time or energy to wade through hundreds of pages of text. Now in it's second edition, this book can be read quickly in one two-hour sitting or as you have 10-15 minutes here and there. In conceiving this book, our goal was to develop a simple but comprehesive guide that is focused on the most crucial information you need to lead effectively in your role as charge nurse. As a result, we have focused on topics such as leadership, stakeholders/resources, self-awareness, patient safety, delegation, leading through conflict, navifationg change and mentoring. We hve devoted separate chapters to patient satisfaction and patient safety. These are over-arching concepts that require the implementation of all leadership skills. Each chapter is divided into two primary sections: Personal Lessons and Resources & References. The Personal Lessons section may contain: our thoughts on the topic, reflections, things to remember and case studies. The Resources & References section may include: short articles by other authors, key terms/acronyms, additional resources and references.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses are already nurse managers. They must manage patient caseloads and care plans as well as supervise aides, technicians, and other care providers. But moving from this type of organic management to a defined nurse manager role is not a natural progression. Nurse managers must command a vast, diverse, and robust skill set, and those skills must first be defined, explained, and operationalized for success. In an environment that offers new managers little support, where do they turn? The Nurse Manager’s Survival Guide (4th Ed.) provides an overview of a nurse manager’s major roles and responsibilities—all the fundamentals needed for success in one easy-to-use, consolidated, practical reference. From tips on building the right team to budgeting basics, time-management tools, and advice on taking care of one’s self (and their team), author Tina Marrelli supplies the resources nurse managers need to excel in day-to-day operations.
