Solutions Spotlight

Shared Governance Nursing Training Program

Shared Governance Nurse Manager Training Programis the only training program targeted to nurse managers that is based entirely on the evidence in the literature and expert opinion. Designed to assist nurse managers in delivering a shared governance training program within their hospital, this book and its accompanying tools and resources provide straightforward, ongoing training.

There is no “one size fits all” model for shared governance; each department must find the structure and process that work best. And while frontline management plays an essential role in the success or breakdown of shared governance, there is a lack of consistent instruction for management. Author Jeanine M. Rundquist, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, helps you provide this training with case studies and downloadable tools, allowing you to give your shared governance program the time and attention it needs to thrive.
