Hopkins Business of Nursing Graduate Certificate Program
HOPKINS BUSINESS OF NURSING ®
GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Offered jointly with the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing
The Hopkins Business of Nursing Graduate Certificate Program is offered jointly by the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and the Carey Business School. Today's nurses occupy a pivotal position in the changing environment of health care management. With constantly evolving delivery and financing modes, nurses need to understand and provide quality care in a cost-effective manner. In addition, emerging developments in health care financing make it essential for health care professionals to successfully integrate sound business and management skills with advanced clinical skills.
The program is designed to address the changing financial and organizational challenges facing nurses and to prepare them for current and expanding roles in the increasingly complex environment of integrated health services.
