Our 2021 Course is a live virtual course with some pre-recorded sessions.
The role of nursing leader within skilled nursing and assisted living settings requires specialized skills, knowledge, and mindset. This leadership course was designed to enhance nursing leadership confidence and competence by providing tools, overviews, and resources by content experts.
The purpose of this program is to meet the challenges of long-term care as they arise with strategies to excel during surveys using tested best practices. Apply a team approach to quality improvement that honors resident preferences and leverages staff skills. Protect your residents with risk-management plans that adhere to current compliance stands. Prevent burn-out and minimize facility turnover by promoting communication and participation. Comply with human resource regulations, laws, and challenges no matter the situation.
The WI DON Council has brought together individuals who are experts in the field. The Long-Term Care Leadership Course provides the base knowledge to manage and lead the three key concepts Nurse Leadership, Clinical Practice/Compliance, Budget Management.
Leadership: Leadership skills are essential to the successful management of staff, clinical situation, and system implementation.
Clinical Practice/Compliance: Clinical skills are refined and mastered during this formal education process.
Budget management: Fiscal responsibility is the only way each of our facilities can survive in the cost-conscious environment. This course will provide tools and knowledge concerning reimbursement, staffing, and supply/inventory costs.
Updates to the Long-Term Care Nursing Course include the addition of regulations related to the oversight of assisted living facilities. Offering the LTC Course virtually will allow leaders to implement the lessons learned in the live and pre-recorded learning sessions and discuss barriers and success during our Group Networking Recap webinar.
This workshop will complement your nursing expertise with leadership and management skills to help you discover your true potential.
This course is not offering a credential at this time.

Frequently Asked Questionsl
Q. What if I miss a live session?
A. It is important to make a commitment to the live sessions. This is an important aspect of our all-share, all-learn, servant leadership model. You must be able to commit 3-4 hours per week to devote to complete the course. Remember, there is no time like the present! We utilize these group networking recap calls as part of our evaluation process of the effectiveness of the course material and to help identify barriers in implementing effective changes.
Q. What is the Group Networking Recap call? Do I have to attend live.
A. We will meet via zoom every other week during the duration of the course. Often, the content expert of certain sessions will be available to answer questions and help each other identify barriers to implementation. Open Q&A sessions and group discussions are an effective tool in making sure we have met the educational outcome measures. It’s also a lot more fun than completing online questions in Survey Monkey.
Do I have to attend? Answer: Yes. We don’t like making Survey Monkey evaluations as much as you don’t like filling them out. 😀
Q. Can I start the course at any time? What if I didn’t start when the course began?
A. Not at this time.
Q. Do I have to complete the entire course?
A. In order to receive the certificate of completion you must complete the course by July 2021. We cannot guarantee the most recent updates after this date.
Q. Can I only take a portion of the course?
A. No, at this time we can only offer access to the full course.
Q. Do I receive credentials to use behind my name when the course is over?
A. At this time the course does not offer credentialing. You will receive a certificate of completion when you complete all the modules in the course. As we move forward with the course offering, we will explore the potential of offering credentials for those who completed the 2021 course material. Because so much of the course material has changed since its inception, we will not be able to offer credentialing for those that have taken a version of the WDONC’s LTC Nursing Leadership Course before 2021, or other versions of nursing leadership education courses. We can not guarantee the course will be credentialed.
Q. Are there discounts for multiple attendees?
A. Not at this time.
Q. Do you have to be a member of the Wisconsin Director of Nursing Council?

We offer an online discussion board to share and connect with others around the state. We have a Weekly Recap to summarize the important information of the week. We offer Wednesday Support Calls.
Please check back regularly. As more questions are posted, we will add them to the Q&A.
