Patricia would like to dedicate this book to the memory of Dr. Joyce Ellis. Joyce was a born leader and manager. She was Pat's Faculty as a student, and her “boss,” Department Head, mentor and friend as a Faculty member. Janice would like to dedicate this book to the memory of Dr. Gloria Smokvina. Gloria was Janice's Professor and Dean as a student and her “boss,” Dean, mentor and friend as a faculty member. Joyce and Gloria taught that leadership begins with personal integrity, honesty, and the desire to do the right thing. Their lives were an example of the kind of leader and manager nursing (and we all) really need. We ask you, the next generation of nursing, to be more like Dr. Ellis and Dr. Smokvina. Have courage and maintain your integrity in all circumstances, be honest and trustworthy, and always try to do the right thing.
