Celebrate Nurse Leaders: Human by Birth – Hero by Choice

Presented by Renee Thompson, DNP, RN, CMSRN, CSP, Founder, The Healthy Workforce Institute

As with all heroes, there is always a villain who tries to take away the hero’s powers: Superman had Lex Luther, and poor Perseus had to fight Medusa! Like ancient Greek and modern-day superheroes, nurses also have their villains: ignorance, the judgments of others and the scourge of bullying are a few of the villains that sap nurses of their heroic capacity.

The good news is that, like all heroes, there are behaviors that strengthen nurses’ heroic powers and enable them to succeed: knowledge, compassion, a positive attitude and moral courage can all transform nurses into truly successful and effective heroes.

This presentation will provide inspiration and practical strategies to help nurse leaders become more heroic in their practice and believe that what they do makes a difference.

If you are looking to create a culture where every nurse is inspired to bring their best to the work they do, so that they enjoy their work, provide exceptional patient care and take ownership of their practice, then this is a session you will not want to miss. After the presentation, you will:

  • Understand the signs of “the villains” that rob nurses’ heroic power
  • Embrace practical ways to articulate nurses’ value to public
  • Remember why you chose your noble profession

The full conference agenda will be posted in January, so stay tuned – this year’s programming will include discussions on managing behavioral health in a non-behavioral health setting, the state of healthcare and trends, the nurse leader’s role in crisis management and more!
