Clinical Nurse Leader

What You’ll Learn 

Through this program you will gain an interdisciplinary knowledge base which will empower you to influence healthcare processes, systems, and quality. You’ll explore the best ways to promote a culture of safety and continuous quality improvement and design effective business plans. You’ll also develop the ability to coach, delegate, and supervise within healthcare systems to promote lifelong learning and advocacy. In this interdisciplinary program, you’ll learn to integrate scientific findings from a wide range of fields, and to make critical ethical decisions, build effective working relationships, and understand a systems-perspective. You’ll graduate ready to intervene at the system level through policy development and how to advocate for change.

Outside the Classroom, In the Community 

The program includes required clinical hours so that you’ll graduate having already tested what you’ve learned in a workplace setting. It is possible (though not guaranteed) to earn practicum hours where you already work, allowing you to take the next step in your career without disrupting your life.
