“It's a great way to prepare nurses to become effective leaders that will positively impact the nursing profession.”
Fellow, Class of 2010
Overview

Overview

The mission of the Nurse Leadership Institute (NLI) is to inspire, teach and empower emerging nurse leaders seeking to grow as leaders and become catalysts for change. Each year, the NLI provides approximately 30 nurse leaders, Fellows, from across Virginia working in all sectors of healthcare with the opportunity to participate in an innovative program to strengthen their leadership skills.

In a time of great change and with an increasingly complex healthcare environment, enhancing leadership knowledge and skills, improving communications and enabling nurse leaders to solve shared problems and facilitate change is critical. In addition to providing individual leadership training, the NLI is helping grow the social capital of Virginia’s nurse leaders, forming a network creating change, innovation and excellence and greater nursing leadership capacity in the Commonwealth.

NLI Fellows and Alumni number nearly 150 Virginia nurses. Being a part of such a peer network, Fellows and employers indicate, helps participants recognize that they are encountering similar issues in their respective work places and provides them the opportunity to learn from NLI faculty and from each other to creatively and effectively address those challenges.
