In addition, key management, and nurse leadership theories necessary for nursing care delivery in the 21st century will be explored.

The student will focus on how the nurse manager influences patient care outcomes, collaborates with nursing staff, and other professional team members, addresses quality and safety issues, and gain insight related to how healthcare systems are organized and financed.
