Congratulations to the 2023 LeadingAge Minnesota’s Nurse Leadership Certificate Program Grads

Posted on September 7, 2023 by Kari Everson

LeadingAge Minnesota’s Nurse Leadership Certificate Program supports new and emerging nurse leaders. Nurse leaders in skilled nursing care centers, assisted living, or home care settings, new to or moving into leadership positions, came together for five months of networking, learning, and support.

Beginning in April, nurse leaders met in both virtual and in-person over five months to learn about key concepts in leadership and senior service clinical requirements.

We want to congratulate the 17 participants who completed the certificate program in its entirety:

• Graciela Aviles, Great Home Minnesota LLC
• Sarah Banks, Farmington Health Services, Trinity Campus
• Kayla Breske, Eventide on Eighth
• Skyler Clarkson, Maplewood Care Center
