June 17, 18, 19

Let's face it, today's nurse managers are expected to know a lot about many different subjects. The Core of Knowledge for Nurses will help you rise to the occasion and stand a head taller than the crowd. If you're a small facility, a member of a large corporation or if you are just looking to get an edge on your competition, join us for this informative program that covers the essentials of regulations, communications, staffing, budgeting and much more. Nurse managers must be proficient in regulations, gifted in communications, skillful at managing staff and adept at stewarding a budget that is increasingly focused on the bottom line. It's nothing short of becoming an expert in law, finance and human resources.
