Nurse Executive/Advanced Nurse Certification Review Course - Workshop Series

Description

Today's nursing executives and managers are expected to maintain competency in their role including systems-level concepts including finance and budget, communication skills, strategic management, human resources management, change management, and computer technology skills. However, educational initiatives to meet these standards are still at the early stages and most nurse leaders continue to acquire knowledge and experience through "on-the-job" training. Nursing leadership/management is as much a specialty as any other clinical nursing specialty. As such, it requires proficiency and competent practice specific to the executive role. Certification, as a Nurse Executive or Nurse Executive-Advanced, is one way to assure an understanding of management theory and its practical applications.

This series will offer practical applications, solid strategies, and an overview of the key issues that will be tested in these exams.

This webinar series will extend for 8 weeks from 2pm through 4pm beginning on September 9th and ending on October 28th, 2022.
