The best of Clare Fagin's writings over a 30 year period. They were written during a career that exemplifies many of the possibilities of nursing—from her beginnings as a staff nurse in the adolescent psychiatric ward at Bellvue Hospital to her post as Interim President of the University of Pennsylvania. In her direct and vivid style, Fagin shares many of the skills necessary for becoming a nurse leader, and passionately discusses many of the issues facing health care in which nurses can play a leadership role. This is a compact but invaluable volume for students, educators, clinicians, and administrators.
