Palliative Nursing Leadership Institute Update
The inaugural class of the Palliative Nursing Leadership Institute was conducted July 15 -20 in Pittsburgh, PA. The scholars were welcomed at a luncheon hosted by the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association Board of Directors and members of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Foundation Board of Directors. The curriculum during the 6 day intensive featured dynamic and interactive sessions that were presented by leaders in nursing, healthcare and technology. The sessions focused on leadership theory, collaboration, change theory, professional development, and communication. The goal of the Institute is to enhance the skills of current nursing leaders to take on even larger roles in promoting Palliative Nursing. The candidates have committed to this two-year program, which includes quarterly educational sessions, regular meetings with mentors, and the development and implementation of an individual project.
