Program Overview
The demand for leadership from professional nurses working in long term care homes extends beyond clinical and care practices to include broader organizational issues. The Excelling as a Nurse Leader in Long Term Care Certificate Program addresses these challenges. This new and unique program works with RNs and RPNs and their organizations to overcome gaps in nurses’ leadership skills. By building on existing strengths, the program assists the professional nurse in the acquisition and practice of new skills required of the complete nurse leader, such as empowering staff, holding people accountable, assertively communicating, and collaboratively problem solving. The Excelling as a Nurse Leader in Long Term Care Certificate Program is designed from an adult-learning perspective. Participants are provided a supportive environment to experiment with leadership concepts, emerging from the program with a renewed commitment to the changing role of the nurse leader in long term care.
I loved this workshop. I’ve attended dozens of workshops/classes over the years and this leadership workshop exceeds, by far, all that I’ve attended to date. I have retained and been motivated to retain and apply all aspects of this workshop. The Leadership Training Program has assisted registered staff in not only identifying the need for improvement but by increasing their ability to take assertive and decisive steps to promote and affect change through others. The overall effectiveness of the learning experience has given our county homes incentive to continue to budget for future leadership training for all registered staff.
