This new edition of Aspen's bestselling book, The Nurse as Executive, has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the significant changes in nursing management. The nurse executive's role as a member of the executive team is examined, as well as the nurse executive's role in health care issues, such as quality, outcomes, team building, and cost containment. Organizing the book around the new resource—driven management model rather than the goal—driven management model makes this book unique and distinguishes it from other management texts.
