Nurse Manager Certificate Program
Spring 2025
ONLINE!
Today’s healthcare environment is very dynamic, often creating challenges for leaders to find time to attend to their own professional development. This program is the first of its kind blending concepts of adaptive learning, the flipped classroom, micro-credentialing and design thinking. This innovative program design offers extensive resources that help participants meet individual learning needs on their own schedule while providing a personalized learning experience that allows leaders to showcase their expertise outside of the traditional classroom.
Participants use “class time” to do the advanced work of assimilating new knowledge through problem-solving, discussion, or debates in a web-based format. This program consists of 6 individual modules each offered over a 4-week period in an asynchronous format, moderated and facilitated by expert faculty. Participants will engage in adaptive learning experiences that adjust the content based on the learner’s activity and performance. Everyone will engage in thought provoking readings, questions to stimulate thinking and dynamic group discussions.
Also unique to this program is the integration of the CliftonStrengths Assessment. All participants complete an individual assessment to identify their top 5 Signature Themes from Gallup’s developed list of 34 most common talents. Individuals will be able to identify their talents, develop those talents into strengths during discussion throughout the program, and apply those strengths to practice.
Participants will gain access to a new module each month. The entire program takes 6 months to complete.
Participant Requirements & Contact Hours
Participants can expect to spend 2 hours per week. Performance will be measured using a non-graded rubric.
This program awards 48 contact hours upon completion of all 6 modules.
