NRSG 617 - Leadership Role Development

3 hours
This course examines concepts of leadership as they relate to professional practice, healthcare delivery systems, healthcare policy, finance, and personal obligation. The course builds on knowledge from moral and ethical decision making. Opportunities to examine Christian philosophical views of leadership, change theory, barriers to change, and effective leadership strategies are presented. Students will define their leadership role as it applies to their chosen specialty track. An in-depth examination of advanced nursing, its definition, moral and ethical dilemmas, reimbursement, and healthcare policy will be done by the students. Building on the knowledge from previous courses, evidence-based practice (EBP) research will be reinforced here and the value of using research in one’s clinical practice will be emphasized. GR
