Overview
Essentials of Nursing Leadership & Management (8th Edition) by Weiss, Tappen, and Grimley is a widely assigned leadership-and-management text, used in senior-level and transition-to-practice courses to prepare new nurses for the professional, leadership, and organizational realities of practice. This study guide follows it chapter by chapter, in the same order your instructor teaches, focusing on the high-yield concepts these courses test. You get professionalism, including characteristics of a profession, professional ethics and values, and nursing practice and the law; leading and managing, including leadership and followership, the nurse as a manager of care, delegation and prioritization, communicating with the interprofessional team, and resolving conflict; healthcare organizations, including power and empowerment, plus what the future holds. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Use it to consolidate the delegation, prioritization, ethics, and leadership concepts that course exams and NCLEX management questions reward.
Aligned with undergraduate nursing leadership and management courses; the delegation, prioritization, and management content also mirrors how leadership concepts are tested on course exams and the NCLEX-RN.
