Principles of Administration Applied to Nursing

by H. A. GODDARD (W.H.O. Monograph Series No. 41) 108 pages. Geneva, World Health Organization, 1958, £1, Sw.Fr. 12, $4.00

This volume of just over 100 pages contains a wealth of material which should be helpful not only to those nurses who are in a position requiring the use of management knowledge and skills, but to those whose responsibility is to teach and help prepare others for assuming administrative responsibilities.

The purposes of the book are clearly stated in the preface and the material included is pertinent and clearly presented.

The overall organization of the material is logical and systematic. The principles basic to the science of administration are followed by a discussion of the application of these principles specifically to health agencies. The greater part of the book is devoted to techniques of administration and methods for on-the-job training in the use of these techniques.

The portion of the publication devoted to "Annexes" is good and should prove extremely helpful, as the sample forms included are well set up and clear.
