Direct download links available Quality and Safety in Nursing: A Competency Approach to Improving Outcomes [Kindle Edition] for everyone book with Mediafire Link Download Link Quality and Safety in Nursing: A Competency Approach to Improving Outcomes is the first comprehensive text of its kind devoted to the nursing community's role in improving quality of care and patient safety. Edited by key members of the Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) steering team, the book brings together information from various loci and expertly situates it within the continuum of nursing education and practice.

Quality and Safety in Nursing is divided into three sections. The first section links the national initiative for quality and safety to its origins in the IOM report. Section Two defines each of the six QSEN competencies in turn, provides instruction on acquiring the skills needed to achieve each competency, and constructs a framework for implementation. Section Three further defines implementation strategies in formal education as well as transition into practice.

A key resource for academics and clinicians alike, Quality and Safety in Nursing is an essential addition to the library of nurse leaders across the globe.

I have no problem with the content of the book. I do, however, have an issue with the Kindle format. This book is also a printed book, easily searchable by ISBN. I am highly disappointed in the publisher for not making page numbers in the eBook, as I have effectively wasted $35 on a book that I can't reference. The pages are displayed as "Location 968 of 11112". That doesn't exactly fit into APA formatting, which is what every nursing school paper is written in. Unless there is a solution to this that I haven't found (and trust me, I've tried, and have been told to contact the publisher which has also been relatively difficult), I wasted my money on this book, and will have to rent (or borrow, for free) a copy from somewhere that has actual page numbers on it.

This book is a must-read for health professionals and health consumers who are involved in advancing safe and effective health care. Edited by Dr. Gwen Sherwood and Dr. Jane Barnsteiner, contributors include colleagues from the Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) project, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Under the leadership of Dr. Linda Cronenwett and Dr. Gwen Sherwood, the QSEN project is transforming nursing and health care. The six QSEN competencies and rich educational resources from the QSEN project have taught us how to change what we do to make health care safer and more effective. But even more important, the QSEN project has taught us how to think differently and work better together to provide safe passage across the care continuum. This is a useful and practical resource for nurses and health professionals as well as consumer advocates looking for better ways to assure safe and reliable health care.
