Clinical Nurse Leader - Timely New Role in American Health Care

As a practicing professional, you're well aware of the dynamic changes in our highly complex healthcare system that require you to think differently about how you care for patients. You need to do more than understand a diagnosis and implement a treatment plan. You're expected to be a straightforward communicator, a thoughtful leader, an effective educator, a strong advocate for your patients and community, a contributing member of a healthcare team and much more.

To be a successful next-generation nursing leader - a generalist Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) - you must keep current with technological advances and emerging medical knowledge while minimizing errors. You must also know how to use your leadership skills, evidence-based practice and decision analysis to anticipate risks, understand technology and maintain patient safety. When you pursue your MSN-CNL at Curry College, you'll enhance your clinical judgment and acquire the necessary tools for career success while maintaining the all-important contact with your patients.
