Written by and for nurses, this key foundational text helps to build the fundamental economics and financial management skills nurses and nurse leaders need to use daily. This third edition delivers several new features adding to its value as the only timely and relevant text written for the full spectrum of RN-to-BSN, BSN, and MSN students. It has been significantly revised to simplify content, address the vast changes in and increasing complexity of U.S. health care financing, and to be useful in both traditional in-class format and hybrid and on-line distance programs. Two new and refocused chapters address assessing the financial health of a business (12) and nurse entrepreneurship and practice management (13). New text boxes in each chapter illuminate recent research findings or reinforce chapter concepts. Chapters feature worksheets such as business plan checklists that help readers apply concepts in their clinical settings. Samples of business plans and other reports help nurses develop the skills to make an effective business case.
