Multicultural Nurse Leadership Institute

About Us

The Multicultural Nurse Leadership Institute (MNLI) is designed for aspiring nurse leaders who have their bachelor’s degree in nursing and at least two years of experience in full-time nursing practice. MNLI Fellows are chosen through a competitive selection process.

This institute was formerly known as the Minority Nurse Leadership Institute.

Our Purpose

The MNLI curriculum includes a variety of educational strategies for developing leadership knowledge, competence, and outcomes. The 10-month mentored leadership development curriculum is built upon the foundation of three domains:

  • Individual nurse leadership development.
  • Advancing evidence-based nursing practice to address minority and community health challenges through leadership of team projects.
  • Fellows’ expanded scope of influence within their sponsoring institutions, the community, and the profession.
