The Nurse Executive Certificate is designed for nurses interested in entrepreneurial and executive leadership roles in health care.

Nurses in advanced practice roles need to have forward-thinking clinical expertise and leadership skills at their command to promote the application and implementation of evidence-based practices linked to original scientific research. Accomplishing this goal requires the application of health policy, informatics, population health, and business practices to the care of individuals, families, and communities. The DNP is a terminal degree designed to prepare advanced nurses to meet the nation's increasingly complex healthcare needs.
