Professional Nursing Practice: Concepts and Perspectives

by Barbara J. Kozier

This book provides knowledge of the historical, theoretical, ethical, and legal foundations of professional nursing.

Also included is a chapter on returning to school after already practicing nursing in the field. The book serves as a refresher for topics and issues previously covered in nursing school, but also addresses issues that nurses will face in their new professional practice. An excellent resource for professionals in the nursing field. Specifically designed the transition from RN-to-BSN. These are professionals that have their RN, but are returning for their BSN to further advance their careers.
