In the past several years, a revival of research devoted to nursing education has emerged. This emergence has changed the way many educators engage in their practice of working with learners; and learners have come to expect that they will have a rich learning experience designed to develop new (or enhance prior) knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The SAGE Handbook of Nursing Education provides a detailed map of the current discipline, with a carefully selected team of international contributors offering the latest thinking about education in nursing across key areas. This handbook will be a key resource for academic educators, as well as graduate and postgraduate learners.

This handbook focuses on core micro organizational behaviour issues, providing students and scholars with an insightful and wide-reaching survey of the state of the field.

Text covering issues and trends in nursing, including: delegation, personal career development, time management, motivation, communication, and conflict resolution. Provides examples from acute and long-term care. for nurse managers.

Distance education, or distance learning, is a field of education that focuses on the pedagogy/andragogy, technology, and instructional systems design that are effectively incorporated in delivering education to students who are not physically "on site" to receive their education. Instead, teachers and students may communicate asynchronously (at times of their own choosing) by exchanging printed or electronic media, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time (synchronously). Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason including the taking of examinations is considered to be a hybrid or blended course or program. Distance education is a growth field with the development and spread of the internet. This book presents important research in the field.
