2024 DNS Program

Director of Nursing Services Leadership Development Program

Tuesdays, 3/12, 3/19, 3/26, 4/2, 4/9, 4/30 And 5/7
3 In-Person and 4 Virtual Sessions, CEUs provided

Directors of Nursing Services (DNS) hold one of the most critical roles in shaping the quality of resident care outcomes, as well as impacting job satisfaction for the entire caregiving team in skilled nursing facilities, yet in a recent Massachusetts Senior Care Association (MSCA) survey many DNS’s reported they were not fully prepared for the complex responsibilities of the role.

To meet the need for ongoing DNS leadership development and to build future DNS leaders and senior clinical managers, we are pleased to offer this Long Term Care Director of Nursing Services Leadership Development Program exclusively to Mass Senior Care Members. This program is intentionally designed to convene a peer group to learn new skills, build upon existing knowledge, explore values-based leadership, and operationalize the competencies needed to be a nurse executive in long term care and sub-acute settings.

Target Audience: DNS’s with less than 3 years of experience, Assistant Directors of Nursing, nurses transitioning into the DNS role, and practicing nurses preparing for career advancement.

Goals:

  1. Experience an interactive leadership development program taught by skilled subject matter experts
  2. Gain skills and strategies needed for success in the DNS role
  3. Deepen understanding of the regulatory compliance environment
  4. Optimize resource utilization and cost containment strategies

Please note there is NO class on 4/16 and 4/23 due to New England school vacation weeks, and the Mass Senior Care Spring Conference and Trade Show.
