FREE CD: The Virtual Nurse Manager

[NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN]

from johnson and johnson, a gift for managers!

in part due to feedback received via the discovernursing.com website, the johnson & johnson campaign for nursing's future learned of a growing need among nurses for management training and opportunities. mid-and late career nurses wanting or needing to know how to manage, challenge and mentor their younger peers and sub-ordinates was a recurring theme.

to respond to this demand the johnson & johnson campaign for nursing's future has created "the virtual nurse manager," a cd-rom disk to be made available to every hospital in the us. this program features six different "scenarios" which challenge nurse managers to learn everything from time management to conflict resolution and more effectively dealing with staffing shortages. and being available in an on disk environment, interested nurses can train and learn on the job, instead of returning to the classroom.

"we developed this program using real nurses and real-life scenarios, so that nurse managers would find the tool both credible and useful, and hopefully the nurses, their patients and hospitals will benefit as a result," said andrea higham, director, the johnson & johnson campaign for nursing's future.

the disk features interactive, multiple choice scenarios supplemented with video of real-life nurse managers sharing guidance they wish someone had given them along the way. each educational cd-rom can be used by multiple nurses, at home or at work
