The Growth And Development Of Nurse Leaders, 2nd Edition (PDF)

By Angela Barron McBride PhD RN FAAN

Benefit from the inspiring mentorship of an AAN-awarded Living Legend!

“I have always recommended that nurses should read anything and everything ever written by Dr. Angela McBride. However, for this new book, I would go much further and tell the nurses that this book is a must for every nurse. I believe that any reader of this book will learn how to uncover and value their own experiences, affirm their capacity for leadership, and will look at leadership through a dynamic new lens. This is an inspiring book that will shake up current thinking about nursing leadership and will become a catalyst for developing more transformational leaders. This book transcends time, generations, and disciplines.”
