Specialty Track Overview The Nursing Administration specialty is developed within the framework of the graduate nursing program. This specialty is designed to prepare the nurse as an administrator who will be able to synthesize advanced knowledge from nursing and related disciplines, integrate organizational and administrative theories into research-based problem solving and decision making, and implement effective communication related to collaborative and conflict management strategies. The graduate will also be able to incorporate the nursing leadership role by designing strategies to impact policies that influence the delivery of health care, apply principles of Christian humanism to the process of nursing administrative decision making, and develop and implement standards of nursing practice and policies with a stated philosophy and mission congruent with health care settings. Credentialing Graduates of the Nursing Administration Specialty may elect to become certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Commission (ANCC) as either Nurse Administrators or Advanced Nurse Administrators, depending on their administrative experience.   Graduate School Home Page                 Kappa Iota                                    Apply On-line
