Education Council

Medical science and the field of healthcare are ever changing. As such nurses are required to constantly increase knowledge and develop new skills in order to meet the ever more complex needs of patients and the healthcare infrastructure in which they work. The role of the Nursing Education Council is the enhancement of nursing skills and knowledge through the promotion and facilitation of educational opportunities. Membership is open to all nurses from every discipline and every level. The Nursing Education Council works closely with Medical Center Education to disseminate information on educational program and funding opportunities for nurses. Nursing Education Council reports to the Nursing Executive Leadership Council on the development and implementation of programs to enhance performance, clinical outcomes and career development of recommendations of staff nurses, nursing managers, nurse leaders, and VA mandates.
