Be a Leader in Nursing

Nursing leadership is now regarded as a core competency to improve clinical outcomes, and nurses need to develop leadership skills from the very start of their career. Be a Leader in Nursing provides a comprehensive, practical guide for nurses through their leadership journey.

Written by practising nurse leader Heather Henry, the book focuses on real-world application of leadership models at all levels - from the first moments of a student placement to effective management roles later in a nurse’s career.

The enjoyable and approachable text helps the reader to understand, recognize and practise leadership skills, making the book suitable for student nurses covering leadership as part of their curriculum as well as nurses already practising in the system. It will also be invaluable to instructors teaching leadership skills to nursing students.
