Management knowledge and skills for nurses

The book is unique in its specific focus - it addresses the topic of managerial knowledge and skills of nurses who, in leadership positions, are not only healthcare professionals but also managers leading a team of people. The issue of managerial skills in healthcare is very specific and it is not always possible to apply the same principles in other fields. The aim of this book is mainly to draw attention to these specifics and to give some guidance on how to deal with them. Another benefit of the book is its clarity, graphic treatment of information and concrete examples from medical practice as well as tasks and exercises that force to think about not always clear-cut problems. Its long-term ambition is to serve as a manual for nurse leaders to refer back to after the first reading.
