ONL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
Winter Quarterly Meeting
ONL's Winter Quarterly Meetings offer nurse leaders at all levels an opportunity for rich professional learning while connecting face-to-face with fellow nurse leaders for collaboration and community.
WINTER 2023 QUARTERLY MEETING: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 8:30 AM - 2:45 PM
Well-Being as Workforce Strategy: Why Enhancing Nurses' Well-Being is a Strategic Imperative, and What Nurse Leaders Can Do
The Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center, Framingham, Massachusetts
Nurses' well-being is mission-critical; it impacts not only individual performance, but also team dynamics, retention, and, by extension, patient outcomes. Enhancing nurses' well-being and cultivating cultures of well-being are therefore strategic imperatives for healthcare organizations. This program will delve into nurses' well-being as a lever for transformative change and what nurse leaders need to know to enhance their own personal well-being and that of their teams. Join us to gain insights, inspiration, and actionable strategies and to connect and collaborate face-to-face with fellow nurse leaders!
