Not interchangeable terms.
Managers control and direct resources and people – push processes along.
Leaders instill vision, bring people along towards a common goal.

Ideally they are combined in a single role so that those that have the vision can mobilise the resources to achieve it.
Managers do things right – Leaders do the right thing.

Leadership and Management: This major prepares nurses for leadership roles in clinical settings. This includes leading and managing teams, as well as developing skills in business-related areas such as finance and budgeting.
Education: This major is ideal for nurses who wish to develop into a nurse educator role within a clinical environment or perhaps even tertiary education settings. It will provide students with the contemporary tools to facilitate effective adult learning, which is a valuable skill for clinical, education and leadership roles in nursing.
SEAs can talk you through which option will help achieve your individual career goals.
