Need a good nursing leadership book for BSN program

Specialties Educators

Published

Does anyone know of a good nursing leadership book for a BSN program that is geared more toward the BSN new grad? Most of the books I have seen out there cover management theory and role of nurse management and theories, that students have a hard time relating to. What I have heard from students is that they would like their leadership class to be more practical and relatable--more about how to help them in transitioning into the role of RN, how to advocate for themselves and patients as part of leadership. What are rights and responsibilities they are entering into as RN. Any suggestions?
