Nurse Executives Aotearoa (NEA) welcomes nurse leaders from across Aotearoa
The organisational network is supported by nurse leaders in current leadership roles and is guided by a Constitution and Terms of Reference. Members communicate extensively through email, teleconferences, regional meetings and face to face meetings. There is a strong culture of sharing and mentoring of nurse leaders. Each region has a regional lead in place who is the key point of contact for our members. The core business of NEA includes:
- Influence national decisions relating to professional practice, workforce development and quality of service delivery through timely information sharing, informed comment, facilitating consensus debate and participating in national work
- Interprofessional networking across the sector that influences future service delivery
- Leader development and support through creating and supporting learning opportunities, mentorship, modeling and access to key regulatory and national agencies
- Lead practice innovation through national sharing and commitment to the patient safety agenda.
Membership
- Nurses with NEA membership may hold a leadership role in their organisation or they may be on or want to be on the pathway towards a leadership role. There are many nurses who join NEA; they hold roles such as directors of nursing, associate directors of nursing, chief nurses, clinical leaders, nurse academics, clinical directors, nursing policy analysts, professional nurse leaders, and nurse consultants. They may also be nurse practitioners, nurse specialists, nurse researchers, nurse lecturers, unit managers and professional nurse advisors, or they may hold a specialist portfolio e.g., NETP coordinators. You don't have to hold any of these positions, but you may be on the pathway toward becoming one - if this is the case, then NEA is for you.
- As a member you will have access to national group meetings, regional meetings, the AGM, and professional development days.
- You will also have access to our mentorship programme which is currently under development.
- For more information please email us or submit a membership request.
Leaving a role does not require you leave NEA.
