Professional Issues inNursing:Challenges andOpportunities
features
contemporary and enduring issues in professional nursing. Designed
to be used in both pre- and post-licensure nursing programs, the text
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 other “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 begin to prepare for the realities of nursing practice.
