At last, a book about the nursing shortage that links nurses, managers, and physicians using conceptual, communication, and leadership approaches. Smart Nursing addresses critical healthcare issues such as patient safety and nurse retention. Smart Nursing is an easy system of cost effective strategies that removes obstacles that interfere with nurse productivity. It enables nurses to use their full professional capacity to deliver safe patient care in a variety of clinical settings. It blends heathcare knowledge with business expertise to address the bottom line for managers. In short, the dollar difference between the present level of nurse productivity and a nurse's full professional capacity is the potential cost savings that Smart Nursing offers.

From the Publisher:

"June Fabre knows that organizations where nurses can perform at their best attract and retain the best people... Implementing Smart Nursing concepts will result in energy enhancing experiences for your nurses and better care for your patients."

-- Susan Keane Baker, Author, Managing Patient Expectations.

"...Reading this book is akin to sitting in on a series of talks or even a year's worth of mentoring chats over coffee with a well-read, very seasoned nurse colleague. A deep respect for the values and perspectives of front-line nurses comes across in every page as does an appreciation for the root causes for workforce problems--basic human relations issues. Wise and warm at the same time, Smart Nursing brings a practical and integrated approach to vitally important issues that are too often handled in a fragmented and abstract way. It will be useful to nurse leaders of all types and at all levels in the profession."

-- Sean Clarke, RN, PhD, CRNP, Associate Director, Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing
