System invests in future CNOs

AdventHealth, based in Altamonte Springs, Fla., is expanding its commitment to cultivating future senior leaders through its CNO executive leadership development program. AONL member Trish Celano, MSN, RN, senior vice president, associate chief clinical officer and chief nursing executive at AdventHealth, says the system is retooling its program to increase the number of nurses prepared to step into CNO roles in the AdventHealth system, which has 50 acute care facilities in nine states. The training includes learning to create a healthy work environment and operational issues such as scheduling, supply management and meeting quality objectives. Celano hopes the program also will prepare future CNOs to have an impact in the C-suite. (HealthLeaders Media story, 4/24/20)
