The Nurse Manager's Guide to Budgeting & Finance, 4th Ed. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646482221)

Nurses focus on the art and science of caregiving, so stepping into a nurse manager role brings new challenges-especially when it comes to the economic reality of patient-staffing

ratios, budgets, reports, accounting, and financial decision-making. Acronyms such as FTEs and ADCs can feel like a foreign language, but thankfully, this book is here to help.
