INDIANAPOLIS — Nurses focus on the art and science of caregiving, but today's nurse managers are faced with the economic reality of patient-staffing ratios, budgets, reports, and accountants. Acronyms such as FTEs and ADCs can feel like a foreign language, but thankfully, help is available. In the newly updated book The Nurse Manager's Guide to Budgeting & Finance, 2nd Edition, the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) provides practical tools, tips, and strategies for managing a nursing unit.

Written by Al Rundio, an associate dean for post-licensure nursing programs and continuing nursing education (CNE) at Drexel University, The Nurse Manager's Guide to Budgeting & Finance, 2nd Edition dives deeper into nursing budgeting by sharing new information on subjects like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, the fiduciary responsibility of boards, and the difference between nonprofit and for-profit institutions. Formulas, charts, sample reports, and other tools help nurse managers apply the book's advice immediately in their units.

"Nurse managers must be able to effectively manage budgets and control resources today," Rundio said. "As a nurse manager who learned on the job, it would have been very beneficial if a book like this had been available when I first became a nurse manager."
