Special Opportunity: Nursing Leadership Workshop
The Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence is in the third year of offering a HRSA-funded Nursing Leadership workshop, and have a situation where we need to fill open seats in a May workshop or we will be forced to cancel. We are sending out this notice because this may represent an opportunity for yourself or someone that you know. We know that it’s short notice, but it never hurts to ask!
The final workshop dates under this grant are May 22-23 and May 28-30 (a total of five days in two segments), here in Denver. This free workshop includes six months of weekly coaching by trained coaches. We have had 193 workshop participants since 2011, and they have given it very positive reviews. The focus is improving skills related to: change management; diversity and culture; effective communication; conflict resolution; negotiating and setting boundaries; and creating excellence in the workplace.
We had eight students scheduled for the May workshop, but due to a management change on their part, four students dropped out yesterday, leaving us with only four students. It’s not possible to run the workshop for four students.
However, rather than just assume that we must cancel the workshop, we are sending out this invitation to you. We believe that the workshop content, experience and coaching is very useful for all types of nurses in other practice settings ranging from acute care to community clinics, nursing school graduate students, and others.
The normal workshop fee is $100, but in this situation we will waive this fee. This HRSA-funded workshop was created to focus on Directors of Nursing and Assistant Directors of Nursing in the long term care sector, but the leadership development and coaching content is applicable to multiple positions and settings.
Click here for more information on the workshop, or to sign up. If we don’t sign up at least an additional 4 students signed up by May 16, we will have to cancel. For more information, call Ingrid Serio at 303-715-0343 #21 or email her at Ingrid@ColoradoNursingCenter.org.
