The Emerging Nurse Leader
The Advanced PSW Leadership
Program
"Stepping into the PSW Managerial Role in LTC"
A Three Day Certificate Program
Silver Meridian is pleased to announce the first offering of this new program. Designed to facilitate the development of leadership skills among PSW’s, the program offers long term care organizations with a realistic, supplemental management role within the nursing department.
The program is being presented in cooperation with the Hellenic Home Scarborough, which is acting as host. Registration is limited – apply soon.
This 3-day certificate program develops skills of PSW’s aspiring to, or moving into, managerial roles. The timing is ideal, given the non-nursing workload demands on registered nurses, their limited availability, and changing expectations in LTC.
Accountabilities and responsibilities of the PSW leader are advanced through this training program, focusing on these key leadership skills:
The program addresses such essential knowledge areas as:
Participants gain valuable, first-hand experience through practicum assignments, which are carried out back in the workplace between each of the training days. The participants’ home managers are asked to review and support participants through this process, and practicums are then shared and discussed at subsequent training sessions.
The training days are fast paced and engaging, utilizing a variety of training approaches, including mini-lecturettes, video presentations, group and individual exercises, role plays and case studies. Examples are long term care focused, using real life examples to which participants readily relate.
Registration includes the program manual, supplemental handout materials, certificate, refreshments and lunch each day.
