Overview:

Essential to the success of today's nurse leaders and aspiring nurse leaders is that comprehensive understanding of the key characteristics, skills and attributes that embody an effective nurse leader and how the nurse leader leverages the elements that contribute to a healthy nurse worker environment, even in times of unexpected crisis.

Many variables influence and challenge the workplace environments for nursing leaders, such as financial management of staffing resources, team building, workplace violence and the resilience of staff in turbulent times.

Growing future nurse leaders embodies the mission and vision of ONL NJ, which requires educating and building confidence in emerging leaders. The future nurse leader's ultimate responsibility will be to continue the very important work being done today to improve the nursing practice environment, and most importantly, patient outcomes.
