Professional Issues in Nursing: Challenges &Opportunities, Fourth Edition Carol J. Huston, MSN, MPA, DPA 978-1-49633-439-8 • February 2016 • Softbound • 7” x 9” • 448 pp. • 9 Illus. • 100Tables

Designed to be used in both pre- and post-licensure nursing programs, Professional Issues in Nursing: Challenges andOpportunities has an undiluted focus on professional issues in nursing and includes many timely workplace issues, workforce issues, legal and ethical issues, nursing education, and issues related to professional power and furthering the nursing profession. Unlike “issues and trends” textbooks that cover everything from nursing research to nursing theory, this text is devoted to the “hot topics” of the time which allows students to be “in the know” rather than be in the camp of students unprepared to maneuver the political and social issues that impact their role as a nurse.
