Session Overview:
The New Careers in Nursing Scholars Network was initiated as a result of expressed desire from scholars to promote interconnectivity among RWJF NCIN scholars. During 2011, a steering committee was formed to begin planning for the Network. The first face-to-face meeting of this steering committee was held prior to the Summit. This presentation by scholars will describe their vision for the future of the Network, and goals and objectives, along with the activities they have planned to meet those goals and objectives. The work of the Network is supported by the National Program Office and two faculty advisors who represent NCIN grantees. It is envisioned that this Network will provide a platform for sharing resources and skill sets, allowing the group to advance and focus on a specific cause as a whole.
Session Objectives:
- Describe the proposed structure of the NCIN Scholars Network.
- Discuss the benefits of the Network for both students and their nursing programs.
- Identify roles and responsibilities of NCIN program liaisons in supporting the Network.
