NB471 Leadership Roles in Nursing
This course examines the leadership character and management roles of the baccalaureate nurse. The NURSING process is the basis for discussion of holistic care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations (HUMANITY) in a variety of HEALTH care systems and organizations (ENVIRONMENTS). The leadership role of nursing includes discussion of organizational and systems leadership for client safety and quality care, the management of staff and care for groups of clients, and healthcare policy, finance, and regulatory environments. Critical analysis of the nursing literature is incorporated to support nursing practice and to examine the legal, ethical, moral, and technological aspects of professional nursing.
Nursing students may only take two of three 400-level clinical component nursing courses within one semester.
