Thanks to our distance learning course platform, you can pursue your degree on your own schedule without missing out on discussion and collaboration with classmates and faculty members.
This program prepares students for certifications like NEA-BC (Nurse Executive Advanced – Board Certified), NE-BC through the American Nurse Credentialing Center, and CENP (Certified Executive Nursing Practice) through the American Organization of Nurse Executives.
Nurses must be effective communicators and educators who assist patients and staff throughout difficult transitions while demonstrating financial accountability, systems thinking, and a constant awareness of patient care quality. As many nursing leaders, managers, and executives prepare to retire, it’s essential to prepare nurses who can exhibit these qualities to move into key roles.
