This part-time, asynchronous, online program prepares nurses to become advanced practice nursing leaders in their workplace and community. Students will learn advanced nursing techniques from a Christian, faith-based perspective, allowing them to become skilled nursing leaders.
Students will choose from one of two tracks:
- Nurse Educators prepare nurses for leadership positions in nursing education, such as a preceptor, lead nurse educator, or clinical nurse instructor both in academic settings as well as the clinical arena. Students will gain expertise in teaching/learning theories, designing curricula, and assessing educational outcomes.
- The Clinical Nurse Leader prepares nurses for effective leadership in promoting positive health care outcomes. Students will gain skills in addressing quality improvement and risk management, implementing evidence-based care practices, developing team leadership and collaboration, and utilizing innovative systems and technology.
Upon completion of the degree, both tracks prepare students to seamlessly transition into a Doctor of Nurse Practicing program and/or sit for the national certification exams in their specialty.
