nursing, administration, education, leadership, methods, models 

Nurses are presented with the challenge of leading a variety of groups to our healthcare environment, ranging from patients and families to communities and organizations. While there appears to be a little time for leadership development, leadership skills are in great demand. This first book of its kind will fill the leadership development void not previously addressed in nursing education. This book includes: the Leadership Education Model (LEM) and its 6 core skills for leaders: achiever, communicator, critical thinker, expert, mentor, and visionary; strategies from schools across the United States for integrating leadership into the nursing curriculum and includes the use of reflective journaling, group process to develop caring leaders, problem-based learning, online clinical scenarios, and popular films to measure student understanding of leadership; strategies used in the clinical setting by administrators and staff developers and includes the use of shift coordinators to teach skills needed for NCLEX-RN, evidence-based practice skills, shadow a leader, distance education, and delegation skills. -From back of book.
