Healthcare Organizational Leadership Track, Master of Science in Nursing

About this programme

The MSN in Healthcare Organizational Leadership (HOL) prepares the student to assume leadership positions in various organizations providing direct or indirect healthcare services across the life span and care continuum; government agencies; community-based organizations (public and private); and other healthcare industries (insurance, biomedical, pharmaceutical). Students will acquire competencies essential for effective and transformative leadership in multiple organizational contexts and dynamics at micro, meso, and macro levels. Formation of the student’s vision for an impactful leadership career, aspirations for a meaningful legacy to the nursing profession, healthcare delivery systems, professional/health-related organizations, and the public health at large are distinctive features of the curriculum. The HOL curriculum is aligned with the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing's mission, vision, strategic directions, and attributes of a Hopkins Nurse. Furthermore, the curriculum is informed by the real-world practice underpinned by the state-of-the science for nursing leadership, the American Organization of Nursing Leadership (AONL) Nurse Leaders Competencies, and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education.
