Nurse educators and managers
of nursing schools function within the dynamics of a kaleidoscope of
environments – in their schools, within the parameters of professional and
higher education policies and legislation, and, in South Africa, in an extremely diverse society. Since they are
part of the global nursing community, the realities of international standards
compound their responsibilities. Nurse educators’ guide to management
acknowledges these challenges and aims to empower nurse educators and managers
of nursing schools by creating awareness of areas that need to be explored
and embraced to function effectively.
Nurse educators’ guide to management has
been thoroughly revised to ensure relevance and currency. Two new chapters have
been included – one on the essential technological environment and its
management in the education of nurses, and the other on the management environment and its dynamics in a
nursing school today. Nurse educators’ guide to management also
addresses the philosophical and sociocultural, professional and ethical,
leadership and quality challenges that a nursing school has to face as well as
the healthcare, regulatory and educational environments in which a nursing
school in South Africa functions. The mission of a nursing school in society
and its empowerment through alliances and networking are extensively explored.
This book is aimed at educators, managers of
nursing schools and students preparing themselves for a career in nursing education.
The authors of the book are experienced
nursing professionals with a special interest in the education of nurses and
advancement of the structures, processes and outcomes of nursing education
at institutional and national
levels.
