This course provides practice and scholarly activities designed to develop the broad leadership role of the nurse functioning at the organizational level in an advanced practice role. Emphasis is on understanding social-cultural movements and their impact on the nurse leader. Adult-geriatric clinical experiences center around student interests and include designing and implementing system change strategies that improve the care environment both for patients and staff, or improving population clinical outcomes using evidenced-based care, information systems, and program development. Broad aspects of leadership theory, including application of chaos theory and complexity science will be examined. (Theory 12.5 hours; Clinical 80 hours)
