It’s almost here!

 Nurse leaders are at the forefront of shaping healthcare environments that promote safety, quality, and professional satisfaction. In an era marked by rapid change, workforce shortages, and increasing complexity, the role of nursing leadership has never been more critical. However, research consistently shows that without targeted leadership development, nurse leaders may struggle to effectively manage teams, address incivility, and sustain positive workplace cultures. 

Recent data reveal that as many as 45% of nurses who leave their positions cite poor leadership and lack of support as a primary reason for departure. The financial toll is equally staggering—each nurse lost to turnover can cost healthcare organizations between $40,200 and $64,500. Beyond cost, the human impact is significant: 81% of nurses report having experienced or witnessed bullying in the workplace, often due to leadership inaction or ineffective conflict management.  Units with engaged and well trained nurse leaders have lower mortality rates, fewer hospital-acquired infections, and better patient satisfaction scores. 

As the healthcare landscape grows more complex, the demand for capable, adaptive, and well-prepared nurse leaders continues to rise. Ongoing professional development is essential to address systemic issues like bullying, workforce instability, and inequity in care delivery. This conference provides a platform for leaders to engage with current research, examine ethical challenges, and explore solutions that promote excellence in nursing leadership.

Engage with peers, challenge your thinking, and strengthen your leadership practice. Become a nurse leader who leads with vision, influences with integrity, and creates lasting impact across systems of care.
