Student Nursing Leadership Training
The Society supports the academic experience by providing programs and opportunities to enhance student leadership development, foster civic responsibility, and promote shared responsibility within a healthy community.
Whatever the level of prior training, student leadership is available to help you enhance one member's leadership competencies.
At the BND Leadership School, we believe that leadership engages leaders and participants, valuing all contributions, as well as sharing authority and responsibility. Leadership is not only about an office that one may hold, but about vision and one's ability to relate to people. Every person can benefit by cultivating these types of leadership skills. Our commitment is to develop leaders who are ethical, purposeful, and inclusive.
This one-day activity will use a servant leadership approach. Training recipients will be called the DDB Fellows.
