Nurses are already nurse managers. They must manage patient caseloads and care plans as well as supervise aides, technicians, and other care providers. But moving from this type of organic management to a defined nurse manager role is not a natural progression. Nurse managers must command a vast, diverse, and robust skill set, and those skills must first be defined, explained, and operationalized for success. In an environment that offers new managers little support, where do they turn? The Nurse Manager’s Survival Guide (4th Ed.) provides an overview of a nurse manager’s major roles and responsibilities—all the fundamentals needed for success in one easy-to-use, consolidated, practical reference. From tips on building the right team to budgeting basics, time-management tools, and advice on taking care of one’s self (and their team), author Tina Marrelli supplies the resources nurse managers need to excel in day-to-day operations.

My name is Alexandra, AKA Andra, and I am an intensive care unit registered nurse. Working frequently with students and new nurses has shown me that there is a HUGE practical education gap for students as they become nursing students and new grad nurses. After seeing this need, I sought to write this handbook (...or rather, survival guide) to help pass on the information and lessons I've learned throughout school about topics not typically covered by nursing programs or the profession...topics most students have to learn the hard way like I did. The goal here is to prevent you from spending unnecessary time invested in activities that are not the best utilization of your time.No matter what point you're at in the nursing school process - pre-nursing, currently enrolled, about to graduate, etc. - this guide will have something to help make your life easier! You can expect this guide to talk about:? Planning and preparing for nursing school? The application and interview process? Preparing for success in lecture? How to handle nursing exams? Preparing for success in simulation lab? How to approach clinical placements? Maintaining school-life balance? Your final semester? What to expect after graduation
