Provides a unique framework for effective project management skills in nursing
This
is the only resource designed to teach graduate-level nursing students
the skills they need to be effective project managers. Using practical
case examples and proven tips, the text presents step-by-step strategies
for applying project management skills in varied settings and describes
how to identify key concepts critical to project success. The second
edition delivers new content to reflect the changing roles and
responsibilities of today’s APRN and is consistent with project
management concepts defined by the American Organization of Nurse
Leaders (AONL) and the American Nurses Association (ANA). Case scenarios
are included in each chapter to reinforce practical applications, along
with critical thinking questions and activities.
The text

differentiating terminology used in the business operations of nursing
professionals.
