Overseeing 50 or more clinical professionals, working in a fast-paced healthcare environment, with a constant flow of patients and diminishing resources is extremely challenging. Participating in the Nurse Manager University will help you become a better leader in this environment by equipping you with essential skills and strategies for effective management.

Twenty-five years of clinical leadership experience has provided the understanding of what is needed to be a successful Nurse Manager. Our program improves your understanding of key leadership topics such as: Building my financial acumen, emotional intelligence, active listening, how to run a professional staff meeting, trust in leadership, conflict management, and leading change. These are some of the most important topics a Nurse Manager must begin to master to be an effective leader. For the Chief Nursing Officer, retention is key. Nurse Manager turnover is not only an expense issue, it is highly disruptive for the staff and has a detrimental impact on quality/safety, patient and family experience, and the overall cost of delivering care.

Our program is directed towards Chief Nursing Officers (CNOs). As the leader of the Nursing Department and all of the Nurse Managers, they need to be on board with bringing this program to their organization and their Nurse Managers. The program is designed to be on-site, is very flexible to the schedules of these busy leaders, and we provide between-class virtual meetings to discuss presented information and, most importantly, to review real-world application of the material.
