Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing: Theory and Application 8th Edition

Received really fast and the book is new!! I mean its an old edition and I was expecting something with wear and tear, but the book is new!

I had to purchase this book for my college course and I received it in good condition from the seller. I like how the book is formatted it makes for easy reading and referencing. The compact size makes it easy to cram into a purse or small bag and it is fairly light weight too!

Required for my leadership and management class for the BSN program. However, this was an excellent book. There is one section on conflict resolution that I had a friend read prior to trying to approach family members after a dispute. It really helped him understand conflicts and ideas on how to begin resolving issues. Best book from my nursing classes.

Breaks down nursing leadership very well. Easy to read.

The book content is fine; what you would expect for a BSN nursing course. Easy to follow and well laid out.The quality of the rental itself is horrendous. The cover is very torn and just about to free itself from the binding, the first eight chapters are clearly water damaged, andthere is some kind of dark brown stain ( coffee?) saturating the top portion of the first few chapters causing several of the pages to be stuck together. It is useable, if you can get over the mental hump of the unknown sticky substance.I have rented for several years now and not had a problem. My review is to document the damages so they don't try to hit me with the full cost.

I bought this book for a faculty that I work for. We had run out of the desk copies and she still needed one. This author and book has been used by my college for many years, through new editions. It was nicely packaged and it arrived in perfect condition, and was shipped fast.

The book was helpful for the class I took. I am not going to bash the book just because I did not like the class.

This has got to be one of the worst written books on Nursing Leadership. It was a required book, so it wasn't as if I picked it for some light reading. However, I was so appalled that a publisher actually agreed to print this book. First, it repeats itself numerous times throughout numerous chapters and the information is sorely disorganized. Interested in the actual definition of a specific leadership style? Yeah, forget it... she never explains everything fully (like actual vocab words) and I was often feeling like pulling my hair out while trying to complete study guides for class. Oh, and forget actually looking for a specific point, because you'll never find it, even with the appendix. Nothing makes sense. The writer also uses lots of cliches to make her point, dumbs down information and also uses business jargon that not everyone gets. A few times she refers to acronyms and business terms that are not defined, and I still have no idea what they mean.I beg the publisher not to make a new edition and please, please, stop printing the book. It's an indictment against the entire institution of nursing... and leadership.

Excellent book.

Thanks for the book. I like it.
