Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Cynthia Cummings, EdD, RN, CHSE, CNE (University of North Florida Brooks College of Health)
Description: This is a guide to how to be a successful nurse executive and an aid to prepare nurse executives for the ANCC (American Nurses Credential Center) and AONE (American Organization of Nurse Executives) nurse executive examinations. The accompanying website with an ebook version is helpful, easy to use, and valuable.
Purpose: The purpose is to prepare nurse executives for the ANCC and AONE nurse executive examinations, but the book also will help nurse executives who want to advance to a DNP program. Having access to the ebook adds value by providing additional references, questions, and links.
Audience: The audience includes nurse executives who are interested in learning more about management positions and specific competencies for this role. The author is associate dean for academic nursing and chief academic officer at Drexel University.
Features: The book covers the main topic areas of leadership responsibilities, quality improvement, research and evidence-based practice, systems thinking, human resources, diversity, budgets, and succession planning. The best aspects of the book are the case studies and examples. They are excellent and relevant. The material is organized and engaging. The test preparation questions are very good.
Assessment: This informative and helpful book is thorough and well done. The case studies and examples are current and realistic. I do not know of any books that specifically prepare nurse executives for the ANCC and AONE certification exams. This one is a great resource and very helpful for anyone interested in taking the nurse executive certification exam.
