Managing Yourself On and Off the Ward

This book provides support, guidance and models for "making sense" of the difficult and sometimes confusing work environment of nurses. The information is presented in a readable and accessible manner. With health care once a high profile political issue, there is an increasing level of tension, uncertainty and a lack of knowledge of what is happening outside the immediate work environment. Nurses are continually required to adjust and adapt in order to cope with a constantly changing set by providing a relevant, practical and timely book that emphasises practical management theory and practice. Of particular value is the emphasis placed on the operational nurse, at all levels.
