Prospective Students

Administrative Nursing Leadership Certificate Program

About the Program

The ANL certificate program is designed to incorporate the Scope and Standards for Nursing Administrators (2nd ed.) published by the American Nurses Association. Administrative nursing synthesizes the disciplines of nursing and management in order to efficiently and effectively direct nursing operations in health care agencies toward realization of the goals of both the profession and the agency. The focus includes organizational behavior, human resources, fiscal management, leadership, and managerial functions of the nurse manager.

The 18-semester hour certificate program can be completed in 3 semesters of part-time study. The courses are conducted face to face, online, or blended. Upon completion of the certificate program, students are eligible to sit for the certification exam in nursing administration (CNA) offered by the American Nurse’s Association Credentialing Center.

Important tip: All 18 hours can be applied towards your master’s program at UIC.
