Excellent Resource and Text
25 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
I bought this book as a required senior level text for an RN-BSN completion program. Some text books you keep and some you don't. This one is a keeper. It is well written and not too wordy. Practical examples are true to real clinical practice. Chapters are well titled, specific information is easy to locate, and topics are presented in a well organized, concise manner. No wasted words or overly detailed descriptions. Highly recommended for any RN's personal library and a must for nurse managers.

Effective Leadership and Management (6th ed)
31 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
Effective Leadership and Management (6th ed) by Eleanor J. Sullivan and Phillip J. Decker
This book has three parts and twenty-four chapters including Part 1: Introduction to nursing management and organizations, Part 2 Key skills in nursing management, and Part 3 Managing human resources. Part 1 includes introduction to nursing management, how organizations are designed, how nursing care is delivered, leading and managing leaders and managers, understanding legal and ethical issues, and understanding power and politics. Part 2 discusses thinking critically, making decisions, solving problems, communicating effectively, handling conflict, delegating successfully, building and managing teams, managing and improving quality, using health care technology systems, managing stress and time, initiating and managing change. Part three is about handling staffing and scheduling, recruiting and selecting staff, evaluating staff and performance, coaching, disciplining, and terminating staff, reducing turnover retaining staff, managing absenteeism and other staff problems, and handling collective-bargaining issues.
Each chapter begins with an outline of the chapter content, objectives and media link. Key terms are defined in boxes throughout the book. There are figures, tables, and other boxes to highlight and clarify important content. Each chapter ends with What you know now that are key points from the chapter, Questions to challenge you, Explore media link, and References.
Media link is an asset. There are some video overviews, objectives, NCLEX review questions, critical thinking activities, current events, chapter outlines, nursing leadership and management, media link, key terms, profiles and syllabus manager. This interactive approach should help the readers remember content. This book is good for undergraduate nursing students and practicing nurses.

great book
19 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Awesome book. Only 300 or so pages to read; it is a very easy read; not written on PhD level like so many nursing texts. Read it all in less than one week and passed the exam with an A. Great publisher website with practice questions and activities for each chapter.
