Either way, this telesummit series is for you. It will completely shift the way you think about your practice, your profession and maybe even your life.
In the “Five Days To Nursing Empowerment,” I have assembled the top nine leaders in the nursing field who have graciously agreed to share their knowledge and experiences to empower you on various subjects that will greatly enhance your nursing practice.
These topics do not discuss the “how-to” of basic nursing skills that you already know but rather they discuss the mindset and thought processes that successful nurses use to grow in their profession.
If you feel frustrated, perhaps even stagnant in your career, OR if you absolutely love your profession, then this telesummit series is for you. The telesummit series addresses these fundamental belief systems that many nurses have.
We would love to have you join us and learn from the experts on how we, as nurses, can advance our profession.
