<p>As a charge nurse, one is in a key role to make healthcare work for everyone—patients, families, physicians, nurses, and the others who are involved in the care and healing of patients. The word that may be unexpected is Leader. Caregiver might be the descriptive word when one thinks of a charge nurse, but leader is what they really are.</p>

<p>This brief but important book is designed to augment your leadership education and experience. It is also designed for a busy clinician who does not have the time or energy to wade through hundreds of pages of text. Now in it s second edition, this book can be read quickly in one two-hour sitting or as you have 10-15 minutes here and there. In conceiving this book, our goal was to develop a simple but comprehensive guide that is focused on the most crucial information you need to lead effectively in your role as charge nurse. As a result, we have focused on topics such as leadership, stakeholders/resources, self-awareness, patient safety, delegation, leading through conflict, navigating change and mentoring. We have devoted separate chapters to patient satisfaction and patient safety. These are over-arching concepts that require the implementation of all leadership skills. Each chapter is divided into two primary sections: Personal Lessons and Resources &amp; References. The Personal Lessons sections may contain: our thoughts on the topic, reflections, things to remember, and case studies. The Resources &amp; References sections may include: short articles by other authors, key terms/acronyms, additional resources and references</p>
