My parents,
My nursing profession
and
My dear students
It gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction to introduce the Second Edition of Management of Nursing Services and Education to nursing community. In offering this text, I remain grateful to the readers who supported all my 25 titles on Nursing and who have provided their constructive feedback as well as encouraging comments.
Nurses are challenged to take part in the management of health care delivery system as they are the major driving forces to the system.
The professional nurses often assume the roles of leaders and managers. These two roles are often linked together; that is, managers must have leadership abilities and leaders will often manage but the two roles are uniquely different.
Nurses are role models to all who interact with them; clients, nursing colleagues, nursing students, physicians, health professionals, and members of the community. The ability to advocate for the client is linked to the nurse's leadership ability. Leadership activities may not only be related to professional practice but may also include the application of nursing knowledge to personal concerns. Nurses as members of the community provide leadership in matters related to health because of their special knowledge of risk factors and health promotion behaviors.
The nurses assume management functions in several ways. As a manager and provider of client care, a nurse coordinates with the various health professionals who provide service to the client, including those in X-ray, pharmacy, respiratory therapy, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc. A nurse may also assume a situational role of manager as head nurse, nursing supervisor, and so on. In this management role, a nurse directs and evaluates the nursing and non-nursing staff members.
Keeping these views in mind, this book is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to practice in the area of management and nursing services and education. It has been written in accordance with the needs of existing curriculum prescribed for the nursing courses at degree level. The information provided is based on establishment knowledge and practices. Every attempt has been made to maintain simplicity and lucidity of language and style.
I am aware of manifold reasons for the errors might have crept in the text. I shall feel obliged, if such errors are brought to my notice. I sincerely welcome constructive criticism from readers that would help me enrich myself and good suggestions will be incorporated in the next edition.
I hope, this book will add a growing understanding of management of nursing services and education.

Preface to the First Edition
It gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction to introduce the Management of Nursing Services and Education to nursing community. In offering this text, I remain grateful to the readers who supported all my 12 titles on Nursing and who have provided their constructive feedback as well as encouraging comments.
