“What a great reference—complete yet concise! For those nurses who don't think the budget is important, Rundio identifies the relationship between informed budgeting and improved patient care. He clearly describes everything the nurse needs to know about the budget and the budgeting process. And if that isn't enough, he provides decisive and essential information for future administrative and clinical practice. No nurse should be without a copy!”

“The Nurse Manager's Guide to Budgeting & Finance, Third Edition, is so much more than a guide for nurse managers! This book is essential reading for all advanced practice registered nurse educators and policymakers. Concepts central to healthcare costs, reimbursement, and national policy are presented in a way that is easy for the non-manager to understand. It's not easy to make budgeting interesting, but Dr. Rundio does it!”

“Dr. Rundio has significant experience as a nurse executive and is currently my successor as treasurer for the Nightingale Awards of Pennsylvania. His book comprehensively outlines key budgeting concepts and shares important steps in developing strong, credible nursing budgets. This third edition includes ‘real time’ interviews and case examples that enhance the assimilation of knowledge and understanding of financial concepts—an outstanding strategy for explaining this often complicated yet critical leadership topic. I truly wish I'd had Dr. Rundio's book as a reference early in my career, not only for myself but as a resource for nurse leader colleagues!”

“Al Rundio's third edition of The Nurse Manager's Guide to Budgeting & Finance is a must-have resource for new nurse leaders as well as seasoned nurse executives. In this edition, Al addresses contemporary issues facing nurse leaders such as the financial impact of the global pandemic. He provides an up-to-date view of the complexities and challenges of the healthcare financial environment and shares real-world examples that exemplify nursing financial acumen. This guide should be part of every nurse manager's toolkit for assuring competent practice.”

“Dr. Rundio did an amazing job of taking an incredible amount of information and streamlining it into short, detailed, and informative sections. His chapter on ‘Budget Development’ provides a true collection of all the specifics that need to be considered, as well as the steps needed to create a solid budget. I love that he included his personal thoughts and experiences throughout the book.”
