Effective executive practice requires substantial knowledge of business, finance, labor relations, strategic leadership, organized development, and healthcare policy. The ELDNP is an advanced-level practice degree that emphasizes application of research to clinical nursing practice at the highest administrative levels.
The new cohort for the Executive Leadership DNP (ELDNP) program will start in late January 2013. Content is structured in an innovative hybrid format, integrating the best practices of classroom and computer-assisted instruction.
This program is designed specifically for current nurse executives at the division level or above with supervisory oversight of a group of essential services or functions. This degree extends and enhances the knowledge, skill and performance of these healthcare system leaders in a wide variety of clinical and administrative environments. The curriculum for executive leadership is based on the AACN Essentials for DNP, in addition to the AONE Core Competencies for Nursing Executives. The curriculum also conforms to the standards and expectations set forward by the Council on Graduate Education for Administrative Nursing (CGEAN), the American Nurses Association, and the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) Health Leadership Competency Model.
