Three different areas of focus are offered through the Nursing Administration program and can be taken on a full time or part time basis:
-
Clinical Nurse Leader (Master's level)
-
Nursing Leadership (Master's level)
-
Nursing Leadership (Doctoral level)
Each of these programs is designed to prepare nursing leaders to meet the rapid changes and complex challenges facing the health care industry. Core courses provide a foundation in research for evidence based practice, nursing outcomes, use of technology, leadership development and organizational theory. This knowledge is then enhanced with cognates in economics, health policy, and management of resources designed to develop advanced practice skills. Each program includes a uniquely designed clinical residency with access to a wide range of clinical sites, including one of the premier health care systems in the country. In addition to the School of Nursing, courses are offered through the School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Public Health, and the Katz School of Business.
Faculty in the Nursing Administration Program include individuals with extensive experience in leadership of clinical systems, executive practice, professional communication and development, and health policy.
