In my nursing experience, I have been mostly involved in the administrative and leadership role as a charge nurse, nursing supervisor, and nursing administration.

This research project will evaluate the various psychological issues that affect the performance of the nurses in delivering quality care for the elderly population.

He was also a DNP graduate from Brandman University, now called the University of Massachusetts Global. The professor encouraged me to earn a Ph.D. in Nursing Leadership for improved leadership skills and enhanced expertise in administration.

5) Expected Outcome
I expect to learn and improve nursing practice based on an evidence-based approach and be independent to practice medicine in the field and work as an advanced nurse. To develop leadership skills in running and managing a clinic. I also expect to provide the highest quality of care for patients, families, communities, and populations.

6) Specific qualities
The specific qualities that made me choose the University of Massachusetts Global are its flexibility and quality of education in preparing the working professionals. Dr. Danilo Bernal highly recommended the school to me for its flexibility.
