Nursing Leadership in Healthcare MSN
The fully online MSN program, Nursing Leadership in Healthcare challenges the BSN-prepared Registered Nurse to develop the evidenced-based knowledge and skills to become a transformative nurse leader, effective across a diverse range of healthcare and academic environments. The graduate will develop expertise to practice at an advanced level in the areas of financial and human capital management and quality improvement and safety management. Graduates will be equipped with strategies for managing policy and other issues encountered in healthcare and educator leadership roles. The American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) core concepts are woven throughout the program. Graduates are eligible for the AONL’s Certified Nurse Manager (CNML) and Leader examination. The RN to MSN track is designed for the nurse with an associate degree in nursing who wishes to pursue advanced education upon completion of select bridge courses.
The program is offered fully online with the exception of a 2-day on-campus immersion experience at the beginning of the program.
