Transitioning Into Hospital Based Practice

"This is the first text to address the mutual issues of both NPs and administrators in successfully implementing NP practice in hospitals. Offering concrete strategies to facilitate the transition from clinic to hospital-based APN practice, it addresses the planning, implementation and evaluation process as well as the key factors that are critical to the success of the individual NP. The recruitment, orientation, mentoring, and professional development of NPs are key to the individual and collective success of both the NP and the organization. It is the commitment to this mutual success that sets this book apart from any other texts on this subject and makes it indispensible for classroom, practicing NPs and administrators alike. "
