Abstract:
The increasing complexity of healthcare systems is driving changes in the academic preparation of nurse leaders. The number of doctorate of nursing practice programs has increased. Leaders in the Council on Graduate Education for Administration in Nursing (CGEAN) were interested in learning how graduate nursing leadership programs have responded. An electronic survey was administered to CGEAN members to understand the emphasis of their graduate curricula. Results demonstrate good alignment between academic programs, American Association of College of Nursing essentials, and American Organization of Nurse Executives competencies.
