The purpose is to impart a young nurse holistic nursing leadership knowledge, skills and attitudes, by enabling a learning environment for acquiring the desired nursing and leadership skills from the experienced head nurse to “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”. We will gradually give insights and responsibilities embedded into the leadership role. We believe that the leadership and the tasks it entails will bloom and become part of her everyday life in a natural way. As an integrated part of the leadership development program, the acquired skills will be utilized to facilitate the on-boarding of new nurses and other staff in the ward.
