The Wisconsin Center for Nursing (WCN) is a 501c3 non-profit organization that was created in 2006 to engage nurse and healthcare organizations, public and private academic programs, government agencies, and related service providers to work together as collaborative partners in an effort to ensure an adequate, competent and diverse nursing workforce for the people of Wisconsin. Our mission is to critically assess and monitor nursing workforce and education trends and promote nursing career pathways with a focus on under-represented groups and leadership development.

Leadership skills are essential for nurses in any role. This program is designed to provide leadership development for nurses who have roles where they need to lead through influencing practice rather than through positional authority. Participants will complete the program equipped to lead from wherever they are within their organization.
This interactive program combines lecture, discussion, reflective practice, experiential learning and self-assessment. Taught by experienced nurse leaders, participants will develop leadership competencies to improve their effectiveness as a leader.
