A Handbook for Nurse Management
Authors: S Vasuthevan, Z Nkosi
Format: Physical Hardcopy
Nurse managers are required to demonstrate a range of skills including budgeting, general management, leadership, knowledge of legislation, infection control, quality of care, seamless integration of technology and people management. Although they are expected to straddle both clinical and management roles, nursing education and training often favours clinical competencies.
