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.

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:
