“The Nurse Leadership Institute was a career-changing experience for me. I learned how I, as a leader, can improve and optimize health outcomes for our ever-changing complex patient population. This rewarding program sets you apart from your colleagues by providing a firm foundation in leadership, which is the catalyst to success. ” Marceletta Mendoza, MS, RN, CNOR, CPHQ, CSSB, 2020 - 21 Fellow

“The insights I gained from participating in the Nurse Leadership Institute prepared me to lead a team of nurses who recognize the adverse health impacts of unmet social needs and are increasingly focusing their interventions on addressing the social needs as part of a holistic approach to care; thereby enhancing health outcomes to our communities in Maryland.” Donna Pusey, MS, RN-ACM

“The NLI provided a platform to connect with colleagues and nursing professionals from different backgrounds and health settings by forging valued relationships that will last beyond the yearlong experience. The robust curriculum centered on utilization of strategy, self-reflection, and used feedback from my current workplace to aide in my personal growth and development in leadership.” Michael Hamburg, MSN, RN, CEN
