"Professional Nursing Concepts takes a patient-centered, traditional approach to nursing education and provides the foundation pre-licensure nursing students need in order to successfully transition into practice. Grounded in the Institute of Medicine's five core competencies for healthcare professionals, the current edition logically flows from the basics of the nursing profession and the dynamics of patient care into critical healthcare delivery discussions, ranging from health policy and political action to community health and leadership in nursing practice. Each chapter features discussion questions, critical thinking activities, and "stop and consider" sections that encourage students to reflect on important chapter topics in meaningful ways.
