NUR 44200 - Leadership in Nursing

Concepts presented focus on leadership. Leadership is viewed as interpersonal action which influences group members, through the communication process, toward setting and attaining goals. Clinical experiences provide opportunities to apply leadership, organization, change, communication, teaching/learning, and nursing theories to practice. Conflict management strategies are examined and utilized. Clinicals provide opportunities to deliver and/or supervise care in healthcare settings and community agencies with clients from diverse backgrounds. Aspects of community/public health nursing and leadership are integrated in the senior clinical courses. Only RN completion students may select variable credit for one of the three 400-level clinical nursing curses (NUR 418, NUR 419, NUR 442). The 3-credit variable option includes lecture hours and no clinical hours.
