NUR 4030 - Management and Leadership in Nursing

4 cr

Through an actively engaged classroom, simulated learning experiences, case-based learning and/or field experiences, student-learners will learn about tools and measures used by nurses at the point of care to safely provide, manage, and coordinate care. Select empirical theories, models, and frameworks will be explored as the basis for understanding the complex legal, ethical, regulatory, economic, and political dynamics that influence organizational behavior, leadership-followership, and management within the health care environment. Professional engagement, managing change, systems thinking, and the interprofessional competencies-values, ethics, roles, responsibilities, effective communication, teams and team work are emphasized through clinical and didactic experiences. Direct and indirect clinical experiences provide the student with the opportunity to apply concepts, theories, and principles to the management and leadership role of the baccalaureate prepared registered professional nurse in the practice setting.
