Aims to unite all levels of nursing staff – to speak with one voice to represent and gain public awareness of nurses who have chosen long-term care as their professional area of practice. Messages will be crafted to address the unique needs of those nurses and the individuals whose care they provide.
The Coalition will strive to achieve this by offering relevant education that can bridge current best practices between management and clinical services.
Learning opportunities designed to meet the unique needs and styles of various levels of adult learners will allow nurses to share their “community” and better serve their residents. The Long-Term Care Nursing Coalition of Mississippi will strive to inform colleagues and consumers of the complexities, competencies, and commitment of the exceptional nurses loyal to long-term care.
