Policy & Politics in Nursing and Health Care, 8th Edition (2020) edited by Diana J. Mason PhD, RN, FAAN, Elizabeth Lynne Dickson, Adriana Perez PhD, CRNP, ANP-BC, FAAN, FGSA, and Monica R. McLemore - an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Issues - is the leading text on nursing action and activism. Published by Elsevier, this expanded eighth edition continues to set the standard for nursing policy and political engagement education in North America.
Learn how to influence policy and become a leader in today's changing health care environment. Featuring analysis of cutting-edge healthcare issues and first-person insights from approximately 150 expert contributors, this expanded edition presents a wide range of topics in policies and politics - providing a more complete background than can be found in any other policy textbook on the market. The 8th edition helps readers develop a global understanding of nursing leadership and political activism, as well as the complex business and financial issues that drive many actions in the health system.
Discussions include the latest updates on conflict management, health economics, lobbying, the use of media, and working with communities for change. With these innovative insights and strategies, students will be prepared to play a leadership role in the four spheres in which nurses are politically active: the workplace, government, professional organizations, and the community.
Topics covered: framework for action; an historical perspective on policy, politics, and nursing; policy analysis and policy advocacy; the policymaking process; political analysis and strategies; leadership development; coalition building; communication and policy entrepreneurship; using research to advance policy; lobbying policymakers; political action committees and campaigning; the policy process at the local, state, federal, and international levels; healthcare delivery and financing; quality and safety; access and equity; nursing workforce policy; education policy; community organizing and grassroots advocacy; environmental and global health policy; and emerging issues including health equity, social determinants of health, climate change, and pandemic response.
Essential for: BSN, MSN, DNP, and PhD nursing programs; health policy courses; nursing leadership and management programs; public health nursing programs; nurse executives and chief nursing officers; nurse policy advisors and analysts; AACN and AONL leadership preparation; and any nurse engaged in advocacy, professional organization leadership, or healthcare reform.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
