Attend as many courses as you like or earn a certificate by completing all six courses. In order to receive continuing education credit, participants must complete at least 85% of each session.



"This was an excellent course, not only for the didactic pieces, but also for the networking opportunities. It allows you to step out of 'your own little world' and realize that other nursing leaders share your concerns...Thanks for the objective barometer against which I was able to measure my performance."
Nicole Gamba, BSN, RN Nurse Manager
Hematology/Oncology Clinic A. I. duPont Hospital for Children Wilmington, DE


“This entire management series was a pertinent and necessary growing experience for me. [The instructor's] knowledge and comfort level with the content was a positive incentive for me to forge ahead professionally. I in turn, have developed a confidence in leadership I lacked before. I value being in the series with other nurse managers who shared their experiences.”
