 Benefits of ONL Membership
Mentorship for Pursuing Fellowships
Pursuing a fellowship is a professional milestone. ONL supports members applying for Fellowship in the American Academy of Nursing (AAN) or the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) by pairing them with an ONL colleague who has fellowship experience and can provide mentorship and guidance throughout the process.
Mentorship for Developing or Strengthening a CV/Resume
Building a new resume or curriculum vitae (CV) or strengthening an existing one can feel like a big undertaking. ONL members who are building or strengthening their CV can be matched with a fellow member nurse leader with CV expertise for focused mentorship.
Dissemination of Professional Work
ONL provides an annual opportunity for nurse leaders to present a poster at our Winter Quarterly Meeting. This is an excellent way for nurse leaders to showcase professional projects and account for dissemination on their resume or CV. Those new to developing and presenting posters can receive coaching from members with expertise in this area.
Civic Leadership Opportunities: Board and Committee Service
ONL members are eligible to expand their leadership experience and elevate their influence through ONL Committee and Board service. Additionally, ONL provides learning opportunities for nurse leaders who are considering getting involved on the board of a community organization.
Peer-to-Peer Collaboration: Member Forums
ONL's members-only online discussion groups facilitate member-to-member learning and collaboration. Through these forums, members ask questions, seek input, and share resources and ideas with peer nurse leaders at other organizations. When a new question is posted, members
are invited to join the discussion by email notification.
Shared Learning: ONL Member Roundtables
ONL members have exclusive access to these virtual sessions that bring together our community for shared learning, connection, and collaboration around pressing topics in nursing leadership and nursing practice.
Recognition through Awards and Scholarships
ONL recognizes exceptional nurse leaders in our community through our annual peer-nominated awards and scholarships. This recognition is another way for nurse leaders to strengthen a resume or CV.
Professional Headshot Photography
As nurse leaders seek to influence public policy or grow in their careers, headshots can be a helpful tool for reinforcing credibility and professionalism. ONL provides an annual no-cost opportunity for nurse leaders to receive professional headshot photographs at ONL’s Annual Meeting thanks to the support of the ONL Foundation.
