The Nurse Leadership Fellowship is strengthening the capacity of nurse leaders to navigate one of healthcare’s most pressing challenges: leading change while sustaining team performance and personal resilience. As highlighted in the infographic, fellows across both cohorts identified change leadership, influencing others, coaching for performance, and collaboration as essential competencies for modern nursing leadership. Notably, 92% of 2024 fellows and 78% of 2025 fellows report actively applying change leadership strategies in their roles, while many also report increased confidence in overcoming resistance and greater clarity in goal-setting and accountability. These outcomes demonstrate that the fellowship is not simply delivering leadership education, it is producing measurable leadership transformation. By equipping emerging and mid-level nurse leaders with practical, applied skills in change management, resilience, and team effectiveness, the Nurse Leadership Fellowship is helping build the leadership infrastructure necessary to support workforce stability, improve organizational performance, and strengthen the future of healthcare delivery.
