title: Integrating leadership and management content across the curriculum: a 3-course approach.
abstract: Leadership or management courses for undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students are often relegated to the last semester of study. The authors discuss how leadership and management constructs were integrated throughout the students' upper-division, 2-year nursing curriculum via 3 leadership/management courses. The purpose of this innovative leadership education model is to facilitate the acquisition of both leadership and management behaviors and provide opportunity for students to practice these skills in clinical settings. The authors describe the underpinnings of this model, exemplars of leadership and management principles used in this curriculum, and the barriers to implementing this curriculum.
