Geriatric Nursing Leadership Academy (GNLA)
Developed through a partnership between the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) and The John A. Hartford Foundation, and currently funded by the Hearst Foundations and Hill-Rom, Inc., the Geriatric Nursing Leadership Academy (GNLA) is an exciting, intense and career-changing 18-month experience for nurses who are committed to leading health care practice changes for older adults. The purpose of GNLA is to develop the leadership skills of geriatric nurses in positions of influence in a variety of health care settings.

CEU Opportunity for Nursing Faculty and Geriatric Nurses
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder of adults, yet a survey showed that there is often minimal content in nursing school curricula on PD.
The Edmond J. Safra Visiting Nurse Faculty Program is a 37 CEU approved nursing faculty development course which provides didactics, clinical time with patients, participation in a PD support group and the opportunity to develop an independent project. A $2,000 stipend accompanies the 37 CEUs for nursing faculty who complete the requirements.
In addition to the track for university based nursing faculty, there is a track for non-university based nurses who specialize in care of the elderly and/or impact nursing education in geriatric centers and long-term facilities.
There were 7 program locations in 2012. The next program will be in your area, at Northwestern University Feb 4-8, 2013. Host site programs have expert faculty who are nationally and internationally recognized as leaders in PD.
Nurse faculty in geriatrics, neurology and community health would benefit from applying to this program.
