A real and lasting solution to the nursing shortage is to keep nurses in the nursing workforce. Building nurses’ leadership skills helps them more effectively lead their staff, increasing the likelihood that both the nurse leader and his/her staff stay in their jobs.

The Nurse Leadership Institute (NLI) provides 30 emerging nurse leaders, Fellows, from across Virginia and from all sectors of healthcare with the opportunity to participate in an innovative program to strengthen their leadership skills.

The NLI, a nine-month program, combines retreat sessions, mentoring and a leadership project with convenient distance learning instruction. The NLI inspires, teaches and empowers nurse managers seeking to grow as leaders and become catalysts for change.
