Essentials of the LTC Director of Nursing Role – Part 1
Wednesday, August 09, 2023 12:15 PM to Thursday, August 10, 2023 4:00 PM CDT
Category: Events
LeadingAge Nebraska is again joining LeadingAge Iowa with their virtual DON series. The series will take place in three segments over the second half of 2023 that will aid in developing the Director of Nursing (DON) role in nursing homes. Elements of this series will focus on understanding CMS programs that impact reimbursement and quality assurance; survey processes and regulations; and human resources, customer service, and leadership.
Each segment of this series is designed to provide in-depth information and discussion on each topic without taking the series in a sequential order or taking all 3 sections of the series. By making each of the 3 segments standalone, you can better address succession planning by having individuals attend as their nurse leadership skills are identified. Additional sections in this series will be added to the events calendar in September and December.
Who Should Attend: LTC Administrators, Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing, and other nurse leaders. Appropriate for SNF providers.
