Named a 2013 Doody's Core Title
Nursing practice is a complex and varied field that requires
precision, dedication, care, and expertise. Clinicians must have
both the skills and the tools to attend to changes in patients'
responses, recognize trends, and understand the nature of their
patients' conditions over time.
This book clearly delineates the skills needed to become an
expert nurse. In this new edition, the editors present a report of
a six-year study of over 130 hospital nurses working in critical
care. Expanding upon the study conducted in the previous edition,
this new book documents and analyzes hundreds of new clinical
narratives that track the development of clinical skill
acquisition, including caring, clinical judgment, workplace ethics,
and more.
Highlights of this book: Includes transitional guidance for
nurses new to the field Discusses the primacy of caring and the
importance of good clinical judgment Includes new practice models,
including the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition Provides
guidelines for strengthening the nurse-patient relationship
Presents implications for nursing education and patient safety
Ultimately, this work "defines" expertise in nursing practice.
The book serves as a valuable resource that will enable nurses to
expand their knowledge base, cultivate their clinical skills, and
become successful experts in nursing practice.
