Webinar Series Register NowIn collaboration with LeadingAge Iowa, LeadingAge Massachusetts is pleased to announce a virtual series that will aid in developing the Director of Nursing (DON) role in nursing homes. Elements of this series will focus on budgeting and quality assurance; survey processes and regulations; and human resources, customer service, and leadership. Each segment of this series is designed to provide in-depth information and discussion on each topic. By making each of the segments standalone, you can better address succession planning by having individuals attend as their nurse leadership skills are identified. Additional segments in this series will be added to the events calendar in March and June (registration for these sessions will be separate).
