Patients depend on nurses acting as leaders to advocate for patients, coworkers, and themselves, ensuring the medical team operates as a unit. Knowing which tasks to delegate, navigating problems in the workplace, and coordinating care between multiple specialties is not trivial and requires good preparation and reflection.
This course covers the essential leadership skills you will need as a nurse, including how to delegate tasks safely, navigate conflict, communicate effectively in every situation, and apply the cornerstones of professionalism in every scenario. You will also learn about management principles, cost-effective strategies for care, and the workings of healthcare organizations. Your educator Dr. Hennessey has over 20 years of health care experience. She will help you prepare for the leadership test and guide you the transition from nursing school to professional practice.
An adaptive learning algorithm, downloadable Cheat Sheets, and a NCLEX-style Qbank are part of the learning platform, boosting retention and understanding. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with comprehensive leadership skills, ready to make the step from student to full-fledged nurse.
