“Academic Nursing Practice represents an extraordinary, scholarly integration of information on the practice of nursing within academic settings. Never before has so much essential content been organized into one place. Through their work, Evans and Lang will be responsible for significantly advancing our knowledge on this topic. This is a landmark text and a ‘must’ for those whose work advances academic nursing practice.”
―Catherine L. Gilliss, DNSc, RN, FAAN, Dean and Professor, The Yale School of Nursing
“This is a cutting-edge volume that will propel academic nursing practice to next levels of creating, managing, and challenging academic institutions to provide innovative care that is based on the translation of well-tested models of care. It is a must-read for administrators, faculty, graduate students, and all who want to transform care giving in an ailing health care system. It also provides guidelines for our international colleagues in academic health care centers who want to experiment with their practice mission. It is a book edited by two educators/nurses who are the most knowledgeable about academic-run practices. They are joined by leading authorities in the field to provide the evidence that nursing faculty must model an integrative approach to research and education through maintaining an active role in practice, particularly through community-academic partnerships.”
