Shaping Confident Nurse Leaders With Duke University, a Top Provider of Custom Executive Education

Graduate of the Certificate in Nurse Leadership
The course not only taught me how to develop as a true leader in the nursing profession, but also helped me understand what leadership means for my own personal development. The tools and information that I learned during the course gave me the confidence to be a great leader. The modules were straight-forward and I was able to meet some wonderful people from different walks of life and career paths in healthcare.
