NURS 4550 - Nursing Leadership and Management

Evidence-based leadership, followership, and management theories and concepts, and the nursing process are emphasized using critical-thinking skills and teaching-learning principles to provide holistic nursing care relative to the management of adult patients’ health concerns. In secondary care settings, students apply standards of ethical professional nursing practice, Christian values of caring, faith, and service, and servant-leadership principles while working with peers and clinical agency employees to ensure that patients’ health is restored, maintained, and promoted or that they die with dignity. Responsibility and accountability for nursing care, collaboration, resource conservation and use, and respect for human worth and dignity are foundational to effective clinical judgments and patient-centered outcomes. Two lecture hours per week and 90 clinical hours. This course is eligible for honors credit.
