Become the nurse leader/executive who inspires, creates, achieves and celebrates the organization's mission.

Today's nurse leaders and executives require knowledge and skills with evolving evidence-based specialty practices, strong communication skills, business acumen and knowledge of financial and human resource management, strategic leadership, advocacy, applied quality improvement, informatics and organizational behavior. Nurse Leader/Executive specialty students participate in hybrid classes supported by 500-hours of specialty clinical experiences.

Career opportunities include nursing leader/executive roles in any type of healthcare or business settings, including hospitals/hospital systems, transitional care facilities, community-based centers/agencies, public health departments, clinics and insurance companies.
