The MSN Health Systems Management/MBA Dual Degree prepares graduates who are exceptional at patient care and safety as well as effecting change at the health care leadership and corporate levels. With an MSN/MBA from Johns Hopkins, graduates will crunch the data and help set organizational policy and priorities but will always account for the patient—and family—at the other end of every decision. Through this degree, graduates become strong leaders who can blend an understanding for the bottom line—medical, economic, regulatory, ethical—and turn that balancing act into a high-functioning daily routine. The 65 credit dual program is offered by the School of Nursing and the Carey Business School.
The development of the nursing curriculum is based on:
- AACN Masters Essentials
- AONE Competencies
- ANA Scope and Standards of Practice for Nurse Administrators
Clinical practica and number of clinical hours: Clinical practicum in HSM I (40 hours), HSM II (168 hours), and HSM III (168 hours) for a total of 376 clinical hours. Some MBA courses may require a residency component.
Certification: Certification for Nurse Executives and Nurse Executives, Advanced is based on experience and hours of practice, not educational preparation. Graduates are eligible to apply for certifications available for nurse executives through the American Nurses Credentialing Center www.nursingworld.org/our-certifications and the American Organization of Nurse Executives www.aone.org/resources/certification/about_certifications.shtml.
