Reviews

This book is a thought-provoking presentation of the scope of existing nursing practice. It is sure to encourage more dialogue among nurses and review of current practice policies with an eye to further learning, change, and growth within the profession. --Pamela A. Baj, RN, PhD, FAAN, Professor of Nursing, San Francisco State University Douglas Long's Nursing Scope of Practice brings into focus the blurred lines where nursing performs its duties and what is expected of us. Looking for standards within the nursing practice leads us to run in circles. Doug provides some excellent examples of how our quest for expanded roles is frustrated by the shortcomings of our own systems. --David Daniels, RN, Author, Oh, Nurse! Nursing Scope of Practice can fundamentally change the nursing profession, motivating nurses to become stronger in our practice and collaborate as equals on healthcare teams. Douglas Long's research in my country and worldwide has provided him a unique perspective that is presented in this book. --Ia Gelendize, Executive Director, Union of Nurses, Republic of Georgia
