DNP and MSN alumnae Priscilla Ramseur and Mary Ann Fuchs and faculty members Pamela Edwards and Janice Humphreys recently published an article entitled "The Implementation of a Structured Nursing Leadership Development Program for Succession Planning in a Health System" in JONA: The Journal of Nursing Administration. 

Abstract:

Preparing future nursing leaders to be successful is important because many current leaders will retire in large numbers in the future. A structured nursing leadership development program utilizing the Essentials of Nurse Manager Orientation online program provided future nursing leaders with content aligned with nursing leadership competencies. Paired with assigned mentors and monthly leadership sessions, the participants increased their perception of leadership competence.
