LIVE CE SESSION Nursing Leadership, Building the Future

November 16, 2023 @ 7:00 pm EST - 8:00 pm EST

This session is sponsored by Sigma Theta Tau and presented by Joyce M. Knestrick, PhD, CRNP, FAANP, FAAN.

As healthcare continues to change, nurse practitioners (NPs) are well suited to be the “movers and shakers” to impact policy and health reforms. As nurse leaders, NPs bring experiences to improve social determinants of health and are often the voice of the diverse patients they serve. The removal of barriers to practice in federal and state legislation and local health systems are only part of the breaking down barriers. Readiness to meet the challenges comes after reflection on personal self and the profession.

Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the current state of NP practice in the US and why nursing leadership is essential.
2. Analyze the role of the Nurse Practitioner in the implementation of The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity.
3. Propose ways to remove barriers to practice in federal, state, and local health systems.

This education activity is pending approval by Frontier Nursing University of up to 1.0 hours of accredited education. PLEASE NOTE: You must attend the live session to be eligible for CE credit. 

I’m Interested!
