Nursing facilities provide quality, sophisticated medical care to diverse populations including rehab and sub-acute patients, long term care residents and those requiring specialty care. At the core of this care is the Director of Nursing Services (DNS), a job that requires dynamic leadership skills and the ability to motivate others to achieve exceptional results. The DNS must also be familiar with the latest changes in clinical care delivery and regulations and be able to manage a multi-disciplinary team model that delivers the highest quality of care to the individuals they serve.
The Massachusetts Senior Care Association offers a 6-week workshop that provides an opportunity to learn new skills, fine-tune existing knowledge, explore values-based leadership, and operationalize the skills and competencies that are needed to be a nurse leader in the long term care and sub-acute settings.
