What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Educating Nurses for Leadership ...[is an] evidence-based model for educating future leaders in nursing... that will help ...develop nurses as visionaries, experts, achievers, critical thinkers, communicators and mentors.”
— Daniel J. Pesut, PhD, RN, APRN, BC, FAAN, President, Sigma Theta Tau International
“This book is an engaging, scholarly and innovative discussion of leadership education, based on a leadership profile derived from a national survey. Core is the view of developing leaders as visionaries, experts, achievers, critical thinkers, communicators, and mentors. Nowhere else could teaching/learning leaders find such a high-level compendium of integrative thinking about educating nurses for leadership! Kudos to Drs. Feldman and Greenberg for their visionary, expert, and critical thinking leadership that has led to this achievement as a means to communicate with and mentor others!”
— Joan L. Shaver, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor and Dean, University of Illinois at Chicago. President, American Academy of Nursing (2003-05)
“Educating Nurses for Leadership is a robust and exceptional text appearing in the academy at a time when the topic of leadership in the nursing profession is being intensely analyzed. The text is both conceptually provocative and pragmatically solid in laying forth a foundation for current nurse leaders to embrace and future nurse leaders to emulate. I have seldom read a more comprehensive set of educational best practices for the development of curricula around the topic of developing leadership in the discipline. Penned by esteemed experts in nursing leadership, this text reads well from cover to cover and is sure to become a classic in the field.”
— Jean E. Bartels, PhD, RN, Chair and Professor, School of Nursing, Georgia Southern University
