NURS 411 — Collaborative Leadership in Community and Population Health
This course prepares students for the NURS 450 Capstone by developing the inter- and intra-professional collaboration skills essential for person-centered community and population health nursing. Students engage with community and public health partners to identify potential practicum sites, establish preceptor relationships, and complete clinical readiness requirements. Emphasis is placed on effective communication, leadership, professionalism, and ethical collaboration to advance equitable, person-centered care. Through reflection and applied learning, students strengthen the competencies needed to function as collaborative, accountable members of interprofessional teams and to uphold quality and safety standards in community and public health nursing practice.
