JOURNEY TO EMPOWERMENT FOR NURSES: ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE FOR FUTURE SUCCESS

RWJ HAMILTON CENTER FOR HEALTH & WELLNESS
3100 QUAKERBRIDGE ROAD
(TAKE THE ENTRANCE TO THE CLOVER SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER)
MERCERVILLE/TRENTON, NJ

MARCH 27, 2012 | 7:30AM – 4:30PM

Nursing research has proven the link between patient outcomes and nurses who feel empowered: nurses who believe they are powerless are not as effective in patient care delivery. During this one-day seminar, find out what nurses can do to inspire each other, the profession, and have a positive impact on patient care and patient outcomes. Learn how professional development focused on self-esteem, communication, coping skills, interpersonal relationships and developing a sense of purpose in one's work can improve nurses' perceptions of their empowerment in the workplace.

PURPOSE: Address how professional development for nurses can improve nurses' perception of his/her empowerment in the workplace.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:  

Staff nurses in all specialties, nurse administrators, nurse recruiters, advanced practice nurses, and nursing students.
