The goal of this book is to provide practicing nurses and those pursuing a career in nursing a thorough understanding of the many career options available outside the hospital. Author Susan Lowey describes how these non-hospital careers allows nurses to take on varied roles and responsibilities to deliver comprehensive healthcare to their patients.
