The author, a practising ward sister, combines a text which covers the necessary factual information and reference material needed to run a ward with sensitive and clear guidance on effective behaviour and attitudes. Experienced sisters, teachers and managers may find this book stimulates their thinking about the current work of a ward sister. The new edition of this popular reference book has been thoroughly revised to bring the reader up to date with the many changes with which the nursing profession has had to cope since the first edition was published. These include such topics as nursing patients with AIDS, the Griffith's report and its implications for the nursing profession, quality assurance, primary nursing, proposals for change in nurse education, stress and burnout, and industrial relations.
