2020 Annual Series
Learning to observe operations in a nursing education organization (NEO) requires skill. We must learn to see our NEO’s in terms of the tangle of processes, structures, and systems that they are. It is like learning to see in the dark. These three tactics can get you started.

When that appetite is established, the difference between those who get nourished and those who go hungry will come down to careful planning and preparation. Read on for three fundamentals steps you should take before embarking on a journey to leverage operations for the excellence, effectiveness, and efficiency of your academic organization.
