The Executive Leadership DNP curriculum focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship, financial management, labor relations, risk management, evidence-based practice, information technology, and health care policy.
The Executive Leader DNP program is designed for nurse executives at the division level or above with supervisory oversight of a group of essential services or functions. It comprises didactic courses over approximately two years of study, with the addition of two-to-three teaching intensives per semester. Clinical practice, combined with both classroom and computer-assisted coursework, allows current nurse executives to maintain their professional life while obtaining the ELDNP. It is offered at the USF main campus only.
Accreditation
The ELDNP curriculum is based on the AACN Essentials for the Doctor of Nursing Practice, in addition to the AONE Core Competencies for Nursing Executives. The curriculum also maintains the standards and expectations set by the Council on Graduate Education for Administrative Nursing (CGEAN), the American Nurses Association, and the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) Health Leadership Competency Model.
