Helpful Hints: No one theory is sufficient in and by itself. You are the craftsman or master for this project. You explore, examine, evaluate, make decisions and apply and use the tools and resource you have to best achieve your organizational goals. Nursing and Management administration is the melding of art and science into useful practice applications. Our focus needs to be on evidence based practice resulting in positive outcomes.
