The Wisconsin Organization of Nurse Executives (WONE) will host their annual convention for current and aspiring nurse leaders and managers April 4-6 at The Best Western Waterfront Hotel and Convention Center in Oshkosh.
The 2018 theme is “Creating and Sustaining a Culture of Resilience: Priorities for Today’s Health Care Leaders.” The convention will open with a keynote presentation from Diane Sieg, RN. Using real-life stories from her 23 years as an emergency room nurse, speaker, author, life coach and yoga teacher, she will share the seven habits of highly resilient nurses and habits you can immediately implement into your work and life.
Closing speaker Kelly Swanson will present a hilarious and powerful motivating program based on her book, Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale?, which focuses on busting the negative mindsets that block the path to peace and prosperity.
The agenda also includes a variety of sessions including a legislative and regulatory update, ways to find clarity, purpose and balance, and strategies to enable staff to remain effective in challenging times.
The convention includes opportunities to network with other nurse leaders and managers. Anyone who has responsibilities for leading and managing RNs will benefit from the educational agenda and is welcome; you do not need to be an RN or a member of WONE to attend. A convention brochure is included in this week’s packet and is available online, along with online registration.
