Advancing Soft Skills: Leadership Seminars for Clinical Nurse Leader Students

Abstract

This article describes a seminar course designed for a cohort of nursing students in a medium-sized, private Midwestern university. The purpose of the course was to help students develop the nonacademic skills that are important for successful completion of nursing school and entry into the health care workforce. The rationale for developing the course and the sample curriculum are presented, along with implications for future inquiry.
