NUR 333 Nurse as Leader

This course focuses on the development of leadership skills for professional nursing practice. The course explores the leadership role of the professional nurse through Nurse Leader interviews, current literature, theories, self-awareness, and professional development. Students conduct in-depth nurse leader interviews to gain perspectives about real-world leadership environments. The students' perspectives of leadership as a component of all professional nursing practice are enhanced through self-directed interaction with a variety of nursing leaders. In preparation for this course, students need to identify two Nurse Leaders that are willing to participate in an interview with the student. The leaders must hold a BSN degree or higher and currently be in a leadership role.
