Upcoming Programs

Eradicating Bullying & Incivility Self-Study eCourse
Asynchronous, self-paced online learning program available at anytime
For nurse leaders at every stage of their leadership journey

ONL has partnered with the Healthy Workforce Institute (HWI) to provide our members and community with access to HWI's Eradicating Bullying & Incivility Self-Study eCourse. Designed with busy healthcare leaders in mind, each module is bite-sized, less than an hour long, and can be taken online at the learner's desired pace.

By the end of this course, you will have the tools, strategies, and confidence to identify disruptive behaviors that undermine a culture of safety, set behavioral expectations with employees, and hold staff accountable for professional behavior.

Leadership Lunch Series
Fridays: Sept. 16th, Oct. 21st, Nov. 18th & Dec. 16th, 12:00-1:30 PM via Zoom
For nurse leaders at every stage of their leadership journey

Continue to grow and develop as a nurse leader by participating in this interactive, live educational series designed to connect nurses, nurse leaders, and teams with contemporary national thought leaders for professional learning.

Sessions facilitate the sharing of ideas as speakers provide insights and tools to help nurses and leaders stay informed and inspired. Participants enjoy 90 minutes of professional development via Zoom each month while eating their lunch.

This program is best viewed as a nursing team. Teams can use the presentations as a jumping off point for internal discussion of the ideas shared and can collaborate on application and strategies for implementation within their organization.

*Prorated registration fee available for those wishing to participate once series is underway.

The Nuts and Bolts of Nursing Leadership
Tuesday, Oct. 4th, 8:30 AM-3:30 PM via Zoom For Nurse Managers & Directors
Tuesday, Oct. 11th, 8:30 AM-3:30 PM via Zoom For Charge Nurses & Emerging Leaders

Nurses are often promoted into leadership roles with little or no understanding of the leadership, management, and communication skills needed to succeed. This one-day, interactive workshop is designed to assist new leaders with key skills and strategies necessary to be successful: transitioning into a leadership role; communication and collaboration, including power and authority; resource management; and managing staff performance.

This workshop is offered on two different dates, with each date's program customized to bring focus and examples that are designed for the specified target audience.

Leading Evidence-Based Practice
Wednesday, Nov. 16th, Thursday, Nov. 17th & Friday, Dec. 2nd, 9:00 AM-3:00 PM via Zoom
For nurse leaders at every stage of their leadership journey

Although it is widely known that evidence-based practice (EBP) improves healthcare quality, reliability, and patient outcomes as well as reduces variations in care and costs, it is still not the standard of care delivered by practicing clinicians. Nurses and nurse leaders need a deep and operational knowledge of EBP to access and implement proven strategies, while also improving quality and engagement.

In collaboration with the Fuld Institute for Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) at The Ohio State University, ONL is excited to provide this highly-rated leadership development program.
