Chicago, IL (January 14, 2011) —The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) is pleased to announce its fourth class of Nurse Manager Fellows. This group of outstanding nurse managers will begin their fellowship year with a five-day meeting January 17-21, 2011. A complete list of the 2011 AONE Nurse Manager Fellowship class is available at www.aone.org.
"We are delighted to continue this effort to support the education and development of our future nurse executive leaders," said AONE 2011 president Cheryl Hoying, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE. “This group of exceptional nurse managers will acquire new competencies and continue lifelong learning that is essential to the practice of nursing leadership.
The AONE Nurse Manager Fellowship is the first of its kind to focus on the education and development of the nurse manager. The year-long program is designed to meet the practice needs of the nurse manager and prepare the next generation of executive level nurse leaders. The fellowship will incorporate AONE’s work with the Nurse Manager Leadership Collaborative (NMLC) and its development of the NMLC’s Learning Domain Framework. Fellows will complete an individual capstone project integrating skills learned through the program and benefiting the sponsoring organization.
Supported by the AONE Foundation for Nursing Leadership Research and Education, the AONE Nurse Manager Fellowship is one of three AONE programs focusing on nurse manager development. Additional AONE offerings for nurse managers include the AONE Aspiring Nurse Leader Institute (ANLI), AONE Nurse Manager Institute (NMI) and Essentials of Nurse Manager Orientation (ENMO), a collaborative effort between AONE and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN).
