The Executive Nurse Leader
Course Description and Objectives
You have a greater impact on shaping the future of healthcare with the CIU Nurse Executive Leadership certificate. Current and future nurses in leadership must begin to see policy as something they can shape and develop rather than something that happens to them. The current leadership context establishes multiple opportunities for nurses in leadership to define what leadership skills are needed to manage in the present as well as in the rapidly changing future. Nurses in leadership need to position themselves as “Thoughtful Strategists”—those who are informed decision makers and whose independent actions are based on education, evidence, and experience (FON, 2016), rather than the prevailing held view of just “Functional doer”—those who carry out the instructions of others. The objectives of this course are to enhance leadership competencies of nurse executives in the following leadership domains:
Leading Self
Leading Others
Leading Organizations
Leading Change
Each module will have short individual exercises including the initiation of a leadership diary, group discussion, introspective and reflective thinking, and the use of current leadership best practices to challenge status quo, as well personal profile evaluation and case studies. PowerPoint presentations will be the major mode of lecture transmission.
DURATION
This Course is Online
This is a certificate that can be completed online in 12 weeks. It's a great option for working nursing and midwifery leaders as well as young aspiring leaders who have a passion for both leadership and the profession of nursing.
Participants can access the courses at any time of the day and from anywhere with internet access. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be eligible for the Executive Nurse Leadership Certificate from CIU.
