The purpose of this project is to implement and assess a revised curriculum of a leadership development program by measuring gained self-identified development of leadership practices.

Comments

I would like to thank my capstone committee for their support through the completion of my capstone project. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Donna Corley (Chair), Dr. Mary Clements, and Dr. Nora Warshawsky. I cannot thank them enough for their mentorship and guidance. Sincere gratitude is extended to Dr. Karen Hill, Chief Nursing Officer / Chief Operating Officer, at Baptist Health Lexington in Lexington, Kentucky for her continued support, leadership and mentorship for many years. Thank you to the Doctorate of Nursing Practice faculty at Eastern Kentucky University and to my colleagues at Baptist Health Lexington for their support. I would be remiss if I did not express my gratitude to Margaret Kramer, MSN, RN, Director of Education, at Baptist Health Lexington for providing support during the planning and implementation phase of my capstone project. Lastly, I wish to express my endearing love to my wonderful husband and daughter for their relentless encouragement and support.
