ABOUT THE BOOK

Nursing Administration by Dr. B.T. Basavanthappa is an essential textbook for postgraduate and undergraduate nursing students, as well as nursing service administrators. It serves as a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of managing nursing services and education.

The book bridges the gap between general management theories and their specific application in the healthcare setting. It covers a vast range of topics from the basic functions of management—planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling—to modern challenges like quality assurance, nursing audits, and legal/ethical issues in administration.
