SPRINGER Transitioning Into Hospital Based Practice by Mona N Bahouth and Kay Blum and Shari Simone
This is the first text to guide both NPs and administrators in successfully implementing NP practice in hospitals. Practical and concise, it helps NPs to define their new roles and facilitates their transition to the domain of a hospital-based nurse practitioner. Nurse administrators and CNOs will benefit from the book's examination of how to best integrate nurse practitioners into hospital-based settings. Incorporating the practical wisdom of national NP experts, this resource/reference manual addresses the planning, implementation and evaluation process as well as the key factors that are critical to the success of the individual NP-recruitment, orientation, mentoring, and professional development. It is the commitment to this mutual success that sets this book apart from any other text on this subject and makes it a valuable asset for the classroom, practicing NPs, and administrators alike.
