This role immersion experience is the final course in the nursing management and executive leadership sequence. The Nurse Executive Capstone experience is designed to integrate theory and knowledge learned in the program in the actual practice of the nurse executive role. The focus of the Capstone is on the professional and operational activities of the nurse executive in leading others in the provision of healthcare. Students are expected to integrate nursing knowledge and advanced critical-thinking and problem-solving skills in the development of a comprehensive project grounded in contemporary nursing leadership theory and practice. Students develop projects based on their interests and this 200-hour practicum placement that can incorporate a range of leadership issues. (The student will be assisted in the selection of a preceptor if needed in an area of interest to the student.)
