Financial Management for Nurse Managers and Executives

Text Book needed for on-line Graduate Nursing Degree program. Arrived in good condition and with in the shipping time frame. No need to contact seller.

Financial Management

This book has well written explanations of financial information for the nursing professional. I found it helpful for both my school work as well as my practice setting. There were a few items I wish had been made even simpler for me as I am a novice with this information. However, overall I found it a good resource.

Excellent Primer!

I am a software professional new to working with healthcare providers. I needed a book that provided a little history, current processes and approaches, and fundamental concepts - without 1,000 pages. This book was perfect. I would and have been recommending this book to all of my associates working in the same field.

Financial Management for Nurse Managers and Executives

I recieved the product new and on time. No problems, I would feel confident in ordering from here again.

Finally, a finance book that makes sense!

I picked this book up to help me better understand Cleverly's book, "Essentials of Health Care Finance". After weeks of re-reading Cleverly's book I read several chapters in this book and now it all makes sense! Well-written, clear, simple, with real life examples. The author does not assume you have taken several accounting courses. Instead of just reading this book for a course, I am now really interested in the subject.
