What are the benefits of being an RWJF Executive Nurse Fellow?
Foremost is the opportunity to participate in a high-level leadership development program designed specifically for nurses in executive positions, with learning activities tailored to each Fellow’s unique professional development needs and goals. Additionally, ENF alumni are recognized and respected as leaders within their organizations. For example, based on a survey of alumni conducted in 2006-07, 42% of ENF alumni occupy the top leadership position in their organizations and another 30% report directly to the individual holding the top position. One employer noted: “the ENF program is creating a cadre of nursing leaders who think differently, act differently, collaborate differently and negotiate differently.
