Nurses as Leaders in Advancing Health Care (PBEL)

Catalog description

In this course, students analyze current concepts critical to developing nurses who can lead and manage safe, high-quality, patient-centered, and fiscally responsible care at the bedside. Key ethical and legal issues are examined. With a focus on the importance of communication, teamwork, interprofessional collaboration, and use of evidence-based practice, students investigate and develop solutions to improve client, organizational, and system outcomes. Students have the opportunity to integrate clinical knowledge from prior courses to identify a real-world health care concern. Working together as a team, students will apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills in the facilitation and support of an evidence-based practice change to address the identified concern as they develop and complete their professional practice project.
