"Contemporary Nursing: Issues, Trends, & Management examines the current and historical factors that shape the nursing profession. This new text is written for nursing students in various educational settings as well as for practicing RNs who are either returning to school or who just want to increase their awareness of current trends and issues affecting the practice of nursing.
The book's strengths include its broad-based but concise overview of the significant trends and issues in society, the healthcare system, nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing as a career and their impact on the present and future role and responsibilities of the nurse."--BOOK JACKET.
