This edition will be updated with the latest new evidence-based practice content related to nursing leadership and management topics covered in this text. The main revision ideas are listed below:
All Nurses as Leaders-this edition will include AACN Essentials competencies throughout the chapters. The theme "all nurses as leaders" will focus on how nurses can embrace and implement the AACN competencies to be leaders in the profession Chapter 1: Leadership & Management Principles will be revised to focus on the state of nursing and what nurse managers are dealing with since COVID. The authors will condense much of the historical information into smaller tables to make room for this new content In addition to Chapter 1, where applicable, content will be revised with post covid insights/learnings. An example is in the Managing Time and Stress chapter. It will address the impact of COVID on nurse manager's stress levels, ways to manage stress, and the impact it has had on the nurse manager's job perspective The case studies within the chapters that are not NGN will be revised to include the AACN Essentials competencies The authors would like to create a brand for this title with a new cover that they can use for this one and future editions. For future editions, they will make small changes to the cover of the future editions (eg: new color, tweak the design, etc)
