Bridges to Excellence is a program that provides nurses an opportunity to seek professional development in disciplines their units may not be able to provide, as well as, offering the possibility of experiencing new challenges.

This program allows nurses the chance to explore opportunities they are interested in or curious about and provides intellectual stimulation. There are 2 pathways to choose from, the leadership pathway which are 4 hour or 8 hour experiences or the clinical pathway which are 4, 8 or 12 hour experiences.  In addition, you can utilize your continuing education time while in the program.
