Objective:
The purpose of this program evaluation was to assess the impact that a structured nurse executive fellowship program (NEFP) had on resilience and emotional intelligence (EI).
Background:
Over the recent decades, the role of the CNO has expanded requiring enhanced skills such as resilience and EI to better address increased interprofessional teamwork and collaboration.
Methods:
This is a mixed-methods retrospective program evaluation of the NEFP at a large community-based healthcare system in the Midwest. Twelve nursing directors were selected to participate in the program via an application and interview process. The 2-year program consisted of didactic sessions, coaching sessions, immersion experiences, and completion of a process improvement project.
Results:
Both resilience and EI were greater after the program (Mdn, 9 and 6, respectively) than before the program (Mdn, 88 and 5.88, respectively). In addition, qualitative feedback from the participants was extremely positive.
Conclusions:
A structured executive development program can increase levels of resilience and EI, both of which positively impact turnover intention by reducing stress and burnout and increasing job satisfaction.
