Abstract

This is the third of a 3-part series describing an executive master of science in nursing program. Part 1 described program development built on the American Organization of Nurse Executives' competencies and the distinctive features of the students' online and on-site learning experiences. Part 2 discussed how the 14 forces of magnetism are integrated across the curriculum and unique criteria for program admission. Part 3 describes the use of the Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellows Program as the model for other learning opportunities. Benner's novice to expert theory for executive master of science in nursing program evaluation is also discussed.
