Document Summary
Building capacity in nursing: creating a leadership institute. Author: simpson, b. skelton-green, j julia scott, j. o"brian. The creation of healthy work environment to empower and engage nurses requires a new breed of leader with a variety of new skills. Nurse leaders will need to create and sustain environments that support excellence in professional practice and consistently high level of care. They will need to promote the development of care delivery approaches grounded in principles of evidence- based practice, quality improvement, therapeutic relationships, and patient focused care. Experiential learning derives from the belief that personal involvement in the subject matter is essential for the development of competence: learning activities will link theory and practice. The concepts and theories studied will be related to action. Opportunities will be provided to engage in the real world exercises, which help participants make the bridge from three to practice: learning will be collaborative. Faculty, facilitators, and participants will engage as partners in learning.
