NURS 515 Advanced Concepts in Leadership
This course builds on materials introduced in previous nursing administration courses, adding to the theoretical foundations of leadership and management. Students develop further in the role of nursing administrators through use of critical thinking, decision making, conflict resolution, problem solving and communication strategies. The course will provide management and leadership theory and offer students practical problems as a method of applying theory to practice. Ethics, legislative and advocacy issues as a component of leadership and management decision making will be explored. Emphasis on the management functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling will be covered. This final nursing course focuses on personal reflection of the American Organization of Nurse Executive Competencies (AONE) as the student prepares to assume and/or advance in the role of a nurse leader.
