On October 21, 2016, the Board and Advisory Council of the New Jersey Collaborating Center for Nursing met to review the Strategic Plan that was created for the Center in 2014. The event was organized and facilitated by Dr. Robert Phillips, Corporate Director of Education and Organizational Development at JFK Hospital.

Together, we reviewed the plan and prioritized new goals for the future. The NJCCN has been publishing workforce data since its inception, but we feel strongly that in order to achieve our vision of being the dominant voice on nursing workforce solutions for New Jersey citizens, our data needs to be disseminated and put to use.

Attendees split into small groups to review the Center’s status and identify challenges. Sue Weaver, Chairperson of the Board, records her group’s discussion.
Now, the Center’s staff are working with Dr. Phillips on distilling these priorities and breaking them down into a comprehensive plan that will be presented to the Board and Advisory Council for approval on December 9. The final Strategic Plan will identify key goals and lay out an action plan for accomplishing each of them over the next few years. The Center has progressed significantly since 2014, and we look to the future with a spirit of dedicated optimism. We will continue to use the momentum we have gained to achieve measurable outcomes and establish ourselves as a primary resource for the nursing workforce.
