Abstract

DNP programs, preparing nurse leaders for today’s complex healthcare environment, must support needed competencies and provide fresh, innovative strategies that align with real world practices. A traditional post-graduate DNP program created an integrated curriculum and expanded the leadership thread to incorporate a contemporary and evidence-based theoretical framework, Human-Centered Leadership in Healthcare™ (HCL-HC)™. This leadership theory with its highly relational approach between leaders, peer leaders, and teams quickly resonated with students. Two DNP final projects and their positive outcomes are shared. The HCL-HC™ framework offers promise in restoring joy, meaning, and excellence to leaders in education and practice.
