February 17-19, 2022 | Orlando, FL
The national response to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the needs of today’s healthcare system into clear focus. Major health systems across the nation have discovered how Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNLs) bring leadership, innovation, and versatility to the point of care. Looking to the future, practice and academic leaders are assessing how has health care changed, what opportunities does the future hold, and how can we best prepare CNLs to thrive in a transformed system?
The Summit provides a forum for both healthcare and academic audiences to showcase achievements in implementing the CNL role in education and practice. Whether your institution has adopted the CNL model or is exploring new ways to achieve quality outcomes, the CNL Summit will provide tools to enhance your understanding of the changing healthcare environment and the value added by CNLs.
Who Should Attend:
Deans, faculty, CNOs, nurse managers, other health professionals, practicing CNLs and students.
