1J: The NLN Leadership Institute: Leaders Following the Yellow Brick Road to Career Success

Wednesday, September 23  |  2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. 

We are currently living in a turbulent environment, which impacts our academic institutions and healthcare systems. Leadership at all levels of the system in nursing education and practice is essential to address critical issues for health equity, workforce diversity, and the politics of organizational systems. Today’s society requires leaders to think intentionally, strategically, and to be prepared to integrate critical leadership skills to lead in uncertainty and turbulent times NOW and in the future. It is important for leaders to take-up their authority to lead organizations towards transformation. This session will focus on aspects of two NLN Leadership Institute, yearlong programs, LEAD, and the Leadership Development Program for Simulation Educators. Bringing together world class faculty and a dynamic curriculum, these programs prepare nurses in education and practice to enhance their leadership skills, and their career and professional development. The programs and outcomes will be discussed. A panel of alums will share their experiences and successes from participating in these experiential career-changing programs.
