NOVEMBER WEBINAR

Nurse leaders engage in multiple activities that drive, improve, and manage the quality of care and safety in increasingly complex and high-risk clinical settings. Two of the most crucial aspects of leadership ensure the quality and safety of patients and that clinical practices are performed with accuracy and care.
