Leadership Curricula in Nursing Education: Progress and Gaps

The Institute of Medicine's Future of Nursing report advised nursing education programs to integrate and embed leadership content within all areas of pre-licensure nursing curriculum. This presentation will discuss the findings from a critical literature review synthesizing the state of the science of leadership curricula in pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing education programs from 2008 to 2013. Progress and gaps will be identified and discussed.
