ARIZONA NURSE LEADER COLLABORATIVE Nurse leader representation from hospitals, public health, academia
The academy has been designed to meet the needs of not only entry level but experienced nurse leaders. Competencies defined from the Arizona Nurse Leader Education Needs Assessment as well as those defined in AONE s nurse manager skills inventory were used to design the content. Since Communication & Relationship Building was identified as a most important leadership competency required for successfully leading individuals, teams, and organizations, Day 1 of each Summit will have a primary focus on these topics.
Many nurses do not think of themselves as leaders, yet they are making a significant contribution as a professional nurse in various settings across our state, from rural or reservation care sites, to academia, healthcare facilities and multiple agencies and settings across our communities.
