Introduction
Nurse administrators are integral members of administrative teams within health service organizations and are competing for leadership positions with individuals from non-nursing backgrounds. Their responsibilities have grown in the areas of long-range/strategic and financial planning, resource management, implementation of outcome-based approaches to quality patient care, governance and management of multiple patient care departments. The M.S./M.B.A. joint degree is becoming the preferred academic preparation of the nurse administrator who will practice in this century.
This combined program with the School of Nursing and the School of Business allows the Registered Nurse holding a bachelor's degree to complete the Master of Science in Nursing and Master's in Business Administration in 3 years. The 75 credit program incorporates contemporary management theory, business fundamentals, essential core competencies, and knowledge, skills and values of advanced professional nursing practice. The objective of this joint degree program is to prepare leaders who facilitate and embody the competencies required to help transform health service organizations and health systems, as a whole.
