520			_aThis text features contemporary and enduring issues in professional nursing. Designed to be used in both pre- and post-licensure nursing programs, the text has an undiluted focus on professional issues in nursing and includes many timely workplace issues, workforce issues, legal and ethical issues, nursing education, and issues related to professional power and furthering the nursing profession. Unlike other 'issues and trends' textbooks that cover everything from nursing research to nursing theory, this text is devoted to the 'hot topics' of the time which allows students to begin to prepare for the realities of nursing practice
