Effective and targeted professional development for Nurse Managers is critical in health care organizations of all types. We are please d to offer the Nurse Manager Academy , an exciting new course offered by The Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing. This intensive week of study, conducted in residence , will expose participants to experts who will address essential topics related to successful practice as a Nurse Manager. Through exposure to expert faculty and a diverse peer group, participants create a network of resources to utilize during the course and after they return to their practice sites. These are taught using a variety of interactive and participative methods including lectures, panels, video-taping, and small group activities.
Participants develop their skills among a cohort of colleagues with similar needs and interests.
The curriculum is fast paced, with planned opportunities for interaction, networking, and the chance to enjoy entertaining extracurricular activities. This provides the participant with a unique opportunity to determine personal strengths and weaknesses, and to put this assessment to immediate use to focus learning in this program Residential format - The Nurse Manager Academy will be conducted 'in residence' even for those attendees who come from only a few miles away. We have demonstrated in other Institute courses that the residential requirement allows participants to immerse themselves in the curriculum and course content, and to interface with their peers in a way that no other format can duplicate. The week will culminate on Friday with a highly interactive session led by Shapiro Negotiations Institute. SNI is an organization dedicated to helping individuals improve their business and personal lives by improving their negotiation, communication, and conflict-resolution skills.
