The LeadingAge Minnesota Nursing Leadership Symposium continues to graduate experienced, dedicated leaders who have made the transition from clinical care to the role of a professional executive nurse leader. 

This class of nurse leaders came to the program with a variety of experiences in the journey to their current positions, which lead to great discussions and very helpful networking to address the day-to-day work responsibilities.

Common threads for leadership and professional practice became apparent no matter if the setting they came from was a Skilled Nursing Care Center or Assisted Living Home Care.

Six of the 20 graduates completed their five-part series at various times from April to August. 

We were also pleased to recently present a certificate to Starlette Cummings (pictured with program leader Liz Sether). Starlette completed a rigorous independent study after being unable to participate in the three-day August session – for three straight years – when the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Survey team was at the same exact time.
