55% of hospital nurses plan to retire between 2011 and 2020, according to Nursing Management Aging Workforce Survey released in July 2006 by the Bernard Hodes Group. As a result, competition for nurse leaders will heat up considerably and healthcare organizations are paying close attention to succession planning, leadership development, retention and support of their leadership talent. Creating a comprehensive Nursing Leadership Academy (NLA) is a cutting edge strategy to Grow Your Own nurse leaders.
Does your current leadership training offer the structure to identify emerging leaders, develop long term career plans, provide mentoring, education and financial support aimed at growing your own leaders? Do you have multiple leadership pathways such as; management, clinical specialization, education, public relations and research? Many organizations provide tuition support so that their best and brightest RNs can receive advanced education. Then, these excellent nurses leave the organization because opportunities to utilize their education are not available.
By creating a Nursing Leadership Academy, your organization will have a pool of nurses who have completed the pre-requisites for leadership and are prepared to enter the NLA as a novice nurse leader Using your current foundation, we will help you create a core curriculum, skill and behavioral competencies, and multiple leadership pathways. And, incorporated throughout each curriculum will be world customer service education.
Even small healthcare organizations have the resources to create a Center of Nursing Excellence with a comprehensive Leadership Academy. The Atticus Group will help you identify low cost education and training, as well as access many of the tools developed by national nursing organizations.
