NU 672 Nursing Management & Executive Leadership Practicum
This is the first course in the nursing sequence for the Nursing Management and Executive Leadership practicum. This course will focus on the larger organization's macro-system level. Students will apply and analyze the theories, competencies, and concepts from previous courses in a designated role practicum experience using a preceptor. The core role competencies for the nurse manager and executive leader frame the course activities and include assessing the following areas: client needs and expectations, marketing, financial resources, quality and safety, visioning and strategic planning, care management systems, operational plans for accountability, and ethical practice. Current issues and trends in healthcare, nursing management, and executive leadership are covered in course readings and integrated into the course assessment/project.
