Master's Leadership Practicum

Catalog description

This practicum builds upon experiences gained in the Master of Science in Nursing curriculum to expand student opportunities in leadership, quality improvement and other essential competencies. Students and faculty develop specific practicum goals that lead to increasing independence, knowledge and accountability in practice. Students work alongside leaders in a variety of healthcare settings to gain new perspectives of healthcare complexity and leadership skills. Practicum projects reflect collaboration, critical thinking, decision-making skills, and the ability to incorporate leadership process. The capstone is an analysis, synthesis, and utilization of knowledge from previous courses, learning experiences, evidence and insight into the dynamic needs of healthcare organizations.
