Growing Nursing Leadership for the next Decade 82 reads
	With or without passage of healthcare reform legislation, the coming decade will challenge hospitals like never before.  Demographic trends suggest a sharp jump in demand, but Baby Boomers better informed about technological and treatment advancements and about patient safety, outcomes, and satisfaction measures, are likely to increasingly steer that demand towards the top performing hospitals.  Reimbursement model changes from government and private insurers will also increasingly favor top performers.  Meanwhile, thin margins and workforce shortages will provide significant hurdles to improved performance in a decade when three-fourths of our nurse leaders are expected to retire. The next generation of CNOs, Nursing Directors, and Managers will need new skills to most fully leverage the resources available and maximize performance outcomes.  In addition to controlling costs and developing talent, tomorrow's nurse leaders will have a major role in driving revenue, but how will they acquire these needed skills? Don’t miss Growing Nursing Leadership for the next Decade.  This next in a series of educational conferences by the Nursing Consortium of South Florida for current and future nurse leaders will take place on the 19th of March at the Seminole HardRock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL.  Registration is $99.00 per attendee, and may close without notice due to limited seating. The day long conference will include presentations by Laura Caramanica, RN, Ph.D., FACHE, Executive Director of the Institute for Nursing Excellence at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY, Jennifer G. Nooney, Ph.D. the Associate Director for Research at the Florida Center for Nursing, and Diane Whitehead, Ed.D., RN, ANEF, Department Chair and Professor of the Nova Southeastern University College of Allied Health and Nursing.
