Collaboration for the Promotion of Nursing: Building Partnerships for the Future

This unique new book offers a comprehensive exploration of career management for nurses. The book covers the life span of a career in nursing -- from discovering and developing a career to changing and reclaiming a career. The author Terry Miller and 13 expert contributors explore each of these stages from theoretical and practical perspectives, with research-based tools and strategies and real-life examples throughout, illustrating how nurses have successfully managed their careers. This book provides insightful coverage of many issues crucial to a successful career in nursing. A separate unit on reclaiming one's career includes three unique chapters on the stalled career, the impaired career, and overcoming damage and building new credibility. The final two chapters address the importance of building support networks and mentoring. The book also provides discussions on inquiry letters, resumes, CVs and how to complete a successful interview, with examples of each. Whether you are thinking about a career in nursing, changing careers within nursing or leaving nursing, this book will be a valuable resource to help you make better, more informed decisions regarding your career development.
