Massena resident one of 32 nurses to complete Foundation for Quality Care’s Nurse Educator Course

MASSENA -- A Massena resident was one of 32 nurses to complete the Foundation for Quality Care’s Nurse Educator Course, a leadership program for nurses in senior management roles.

Beth Steenberg of Massena, who works as QA coordinator at St. Regis Nursing Home, recently completed the course.

“The Nurse Educator Course is part of the Long Term Care Leadership Institute, which was developed by the Foundation for Quality Care, a non-profit research and educational foundation affiliated with the New York State Health Facilities Association,” according to a press release.

The program provides college-level credits through the State University of New York Institute of Technology’s School of Nursing and Health Systems in Utica.

It is also approved by the New York State Department of Health as a Train-the-Trainer program for registered nurses who provide the nursing assistant certificate course, the release said.

“No one is more important to the delivery of quality care than nurses and nurse leaders. We need to do everything we can to support them,” said Richard J. Herrick, President of the New York State Health Facilities Association and the Foundation for Quality Care. “Programs such as these are critical to the long-term success of skilled nursing facilities in New York State.”

The Long Term Care Leadership Program was designed to provide nursing leaders with an ongoing educational and peer networking program to promote personal development, core competencies and best practices in long-term care nursing.
