Curry College's Nursing Administration curriculum emphasizes what it takes to lead healthcare organizations focused on quality, efficiency and excellence in the practice of patient care. Next-generation Nurse Administrators keep current with technological advances and emerging medical knowledge while minimizing errors. Administrators must also know how to use leadership skills, evidence-based practice and decision analysis to anticipate risks, understand technology and maintain patient safety. Integral to the curriculum, the practicum experience allows students to apply skills learned in the classroom. Through the capstone experience, students collaborate with faculty on a focused scholarly project and broaden their understanding of a contemporary leadership issue. When you pursue your MSN at Curry College, you'll enhance your strategic leadership skills and acquire the necessary tools for career success as a leader in your field.
