We Have Educated Executives From
Nurse Residency, Preceptorship and Mentorship
A turn-key, customizable, Nurse Residency platform, developed in partnership with CommonSpirit Health and Chief Nursing Officer Kathy Sanford, designed to standardize excellence, deliver and measure evidence-based clinical practices, and provide a scaled foundation for new nurses transitioning into practice. OpusVi’s platform provides a complete solution, allowing your new nurse workforce to build skills and confidence faster while encouraging your leaders to identify problems earlier and intervene with real-time data. The program emphasizes frequent, structured touch-points between the resident, preceptor(s), unit leaders, educators, and mentors–ultimately improving role satisfaction and wellbeing over the course of a new employee’s first 12-months of employment.

The learning content is rooted in Mercy College of Health Sciences’ values as a Catholic institution of higher education, the heritage of the Sisters of Mercy, and guided by the core values of knowledge, reverence, integrity, compassion, and excellence.

Master of Science in Nursing (Emphasis in Strategic Systems Leadership)
It’s no secret that better education for nurses has a positive impact on patient care — yet affordable education options for nurses remain notoriously inaccessible. OpusVi™ and Northern Arizona University (NAU) have now launched an affordable, unparalleled MS in Nursing (Emphasis in Strategic Systems Leadership) to combat this problem. The 100% online format and engaging learning platform allow working professionals to gain qualifications on their own schedule. With a focus on strategic systems leadership, our program equips nurse leaders to manage complex industry challenges and develop innovative approaches that engage diverse stakeholders to advance systems and processes for better healthcare.

Certificate in Nurse Leadership
Ann Marie Roque, RN, MSN
Charge nurse at the cardiac catheterization laboratory at St. Joseph Medical Center
"One particular unit gave me the understanding that as a nurse leader, confidence is part of my role and that I can do more than I give myself credit or permission for. It’s not an easy path, but when the right tools are provided to us, we can be better leaders. The program gave me time to reflect on what kind of leader I am, as well as how I am taking care of myself."

Mary-Ann White
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.
