FREE Nursing Leadership Collaborative Webinar Series
The TONE Board continues to evaluate ways to further increase the value of being a TONE member. We realize that many nurse leaders throughout the state have limited educational and travel budgets and often feel isolated from the flurry of nursing activity within the state.
This four-part series is free of charge to TONE members and will feature updates from the Texas Hospital Association, Texas Nurses Association, Texas Board of Nursing and the Texas Organization of Nurse Executives.
