In Smart Nursing, June Fabre draws extensively on her extensive experience in the field to provide a lucid, concrete analysis of what needs to change in hospitals to make them better environments for nursing practice. Smoothly written and effectively blending hard facts and personal observations, the book is peppered with inspiring success stories about "what works" in terms of improving morale and the quality of nursing practice. 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.Smart Nursing. 2nd Ed.exe
