NEXSTAR WJHL
We’ve partnered with Nexstar WJHL to spotlight nursing advancements, workforce challenges, and the inspiring stories of healthcare professionals across Tennessee. Our media collaborations help raise awareness and support for nurses at every stage of their careers. At the Center, we’re continuously elevating our advertising and digital content to better connect with our audience. From engaging videos to immersive streaming audio, we’re crafting dynamic experiences that bring the nursing profession to life.
We’ve already launched two unique creative campaigns, with more in the works to keep our content fresh, impactful, and inspiring.
Leadership Program (OPUSVI)
We are pleased to announce that on August 23, 2024, our inaugural Nurse Leadership class successfully concluded. In collaboration with OpusVi, our Center had the privilege of guiding a talented group of 15 nurse leaders from across the state through a rigorous 12-week, instructor-led online course aimed at enhancing their leadership skills.
To honor their hard work and accomplishments, we hosted a special luncheon, where the cohort shared their experiences and insights on our Center’s podcast.
We celebrated these remarkable nurse leaders and their dedication to advancing excellence in healthcare leadership. Thank you for joining us in recognizing their achievements! Stay tuned for more upcoming announcements regarding the Nurse Leadership Program.
Belmont Nurse Wellbeing Initiative
Nurses face unique challenges that impact their mental, emotional, and physical health. Through our partnership with Belmont University’s Nurse Wellbeing Program, we provide essential resources, training, and support to promote nurse resilience and self-care.
