We have partnered with two local nursing schools to promote leadership in home healthcare as a career. I will be speaking at Wesley College to two 4th year nursing students as part of their leadership program training. I will be promoting home health as a career and how leadership is different when you have a team of nurses off-site. I will also be a preceptor for a nursing student from Delaware Technical College for her leadership class. She will be shadowing me for 40 hours and will be reporting back to her instructor on the different leadership styles and skills that are needed to manage a home health care agency. Our goal with this out reach program is to change the perception of home care as a career and to promote a different pathway for nurses than working in a hospital setting. Most nursing programs encourage hospital nursing for their students. We hope to educate the educators as well to help them recommend home health as a career.

Lutheran Health Network

There are 2000 nurses / midwives enrolled in this programme.

Lutheran Health Network is invested in the growth and development of all nursing staff, leadership and bedside. To support continued professional development, we have established many programs to allow our nurses to advance in their knowledge and leadership skills. We have fellowship programs for different service lines to support all new nurses as they transition from student nurse to LPN/RN. After fellowship, our new nurses attend a yearlong Nurse Residency program to engage in case studies, discussions and forums about social issues, areas of risk, quality of care, and areas of conflict that they may experience as a nurse. We have updated our preceptor program for all preceptors who partner with our new hires to support their initial experience and provide continued support over the years to help them continue to grow from novice to expert nurse within our Network. Seasoned and new nurses have the option to participate in many of the different “Grand Rounds” educational sessions held monthly in the Critical Care, Trauma and PEDS service lines. Seasoned nurses are also encouraged to participate in the fellowship programs and Nurse Residency program to welcome our new nurses. Seasoned nurses who participate in those programs that are enrolled in our Clinical Advancement Program (CAP) obtain points that translate into bonus amounts. The LHN Clinical Advancement Program is open to all nurses who have completed their 90 day introductory period. This program further enhances the clinical performance and professional growth of our nurses. A Nursing Summit is held annually for all nursing leadership for leadership development. Topics such as Accountability, Compassionate Care, Patient Experience, Self-Care, Safety, and “Speaking Up” have all been presented during our leadership summits. The summit provides our nurses with the theme for the following year; ensuring that the topics discussed during the summit are enhanced in our practice. Short Webinars are provided to our nursing leadership teams by our Regional CNO to further compound on the leadership development opportunities that have been identified within our Network. In addition to these efforts, we are always looking for ways to further enhance our programs. We are thankful for the opportunity to participate in the Nursing Now Challenge and learn from others!

Our Nightingale Challenge programme launched in January 2020, ran for 12 months, began with 41 nurse participants, and ended with 37 participants.

To wrap up, participants completed a Post-programme Survey. Participants will receive a programme completion certificate and can present a Nightingale Challenge programme summary to their units. Our Programme aimed to uphold the global goals: to help future nurse leaders learn about leadership, learn about their wider organization, and learn about personal development. Our Programme’s activities follow:

The Nightingale Challenge Committee is grateful to Dr. Sandra Jost for endorsing the programme at our organization. “Having the opportunity to be a participant in the Nightingale Challenge programme this past year was a unique and fulfilling experience. Over the past 10 years I have worked under inspirational and influential nurse leaders and being a part of the Nightingale Challenge has encouraged me to grow into one of those nurses I continue to emulate. One of the first events on our calendar allowed me to attend a CNO Special Session on Complexity Gap Research. Aside from the range of nurse leaders within the health system that I watched fearlessly raise their hands with questions or comments, the speaker made me examine my role in the future of nurse leaders and realise that the topic at hand would be something I would face. Soon after, in person events were replaced with virtual conferences with people around the world. We were encouraged to acknowledge and learn from the stress the entire world was going through, and then use what we learned to be strong leaders and help those around us. Every day, leaders within our organisation filled our inboxes with inspiring quotes. Virtual meetings included a variety of leadership levels in our organization who were open about what they went through to get where they are, the paths that they went down, and at times, the self-appraisal they did to amend their professional lives in order to find positions they are currently thriving in. Nurses from our ‘Distinguished Nurse Clinicians Academy’ spoke of adaptability, flexibility, and always setting future goals. Seminars on emotional intelligence and professional accountability expanded my willingness to grow as a nurse leader. Lastly, one of our final events was a virtual conference with another Nightingale Challenge group that we were paired with across the world in Oman. The conference presented on both groups individual nursing competency frameworks, and truly highlighted the similarities in nursing that are seen throughout the world. The Nightingale Challenge experience emphasised the continued importance of nursing leadership development and the massive impact that we as nurses can make.” Katelyn Staubs, Nightingale Challenge participant, Penn Medicine Health System, USA.
