Readable, clear and relevant, this combination management textbook / workbook allows students to apply management concepts and theories to real-life situations. Numerous case studies -- based on varied health care settings and the most current nursing care delivery systems -- are broken into understandable pieces, enabling students to learn to think by critically analyzing each situation in a safe, pressure-free environment. The text's format -- plan-organize-staff-direct-control -- involves the student and provides familiarity and structure, enhancing both understanding and retention.
