NUR 184AT Adaptation Nursing: Leadership and Policy
This course provides an integrated exploration of leadership, management, and health policy essentials for current nursing practice. Emphasizing contemporary leadership theory, organizational dynamics, and systems thinking, the course challenges students to examine the assumptions embedded in today’s healthcare structures critically and to apply evidence‑informed strategies to solve complex problems and lead meaningful change. Learners engage with core management principles—including strategic planning, financial and human resource considerations, quality improvement, and ethical decision-making—while also analyzing the political, regulatory, and economic forces shaping U.S. health policy. This course prepares graduates to lead with vision, drive system‑level transformation, and advocate effectively for policies that improve healthcare delivery and population health. 3rd Semester ABSN Theory: 2 units /Practicum: 2 units
