PROGRAM PURPOSE
The transformational leaders of today need to both add and employ fundamental and enhanced tools to one's toolkit and demonstrate capacity to embrace interprofessional team member roles.
Nurse learning needs of the future have to expand beyond one's particular body system specialty (i.e., cardiology, orthopedics, renal, gastrointestinal, behavioral health), and extend to understandings that health outcomes advance when nurses: (1) practice to the fullest scope of their license; (2) incorporate care delivery from an integrated, or whole-health framework; (3) recognize that practice agility is a desirable skill-set among high-reliability organizations; and (4) embrace the benefits of maintaining self-care and self-monitoring behaviors as a personal priority.
The lecture-discussion format seeks an interactive and enlightening experience that will set forth some ideas that attendees can immediately put in place regardless of what state of residence. Bet there will be some things you haven't thought of!
