Upcoming Programs
Leadership Development Course
September Tuesday 27 – Friday 30, 2022
All 4 days of the course are virtual via live webinar
Available to members & non-members
Members Early Bird (until Aug 31): $650 Â |Â Â Members: $700 Â |Â Â Non-Members: $775
The PADONA Leadership Course is scheduled for Tuesday September 27 through Friday September 30. This is a virtual course again this year because of the increasing spread of the Omicron Variant throughout the state.
The topics selected for the Course are relevant to the role of the nurse leaders in long-term care. These are the topics that will assist nurse leaders to know what to expect from vendors, how to get the most from their vendor contracts to assist them and make their workload more efficient, how to manage the things that management expects of them and what they can expect of and include on position descriptions for other nurse leaders in their long-term care facilities.
Whether you are a new nurse leader who feels like you need some guidance and direction in these areas or a seasoned nurse leader who feels like you need a refresher in these areas that you have been working in or an administrator who needs more information – THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!
The Leadership Course provides breaks between all sessions for 30 minutes and 60 minutes for lunch because PADONA knows work continues even during valuable education.
The Leadership Course provides 25 Nursing Continuing Professional Development contact hours for the attendance through each session, completion of the evaluation and entering accurate beginning and ending codes for each session in the evaluation.
The Leadership Development Course also provides 25 credit hours for administrators! If you feel that it would really be helpful for your administrator to learn the same things you are learning as a nurse leader in your facility through this Course – please share this information with them! PADONA believes this is relevant information and the Course has been approved for the 25 administrator credit hours – with the same requirements as the nursing contact hours.
The leadership development Course is also the precursor for the certification exam for the Certified Nursing Director Long Term Care (CNDLTC) certification. The questions on the exam are taken from these relevant educational sessions and an 80% correct response rate is required to pass the certification exam. Payment for the Course includes one attempt at the exam. However, three attempts are permitted to attain a passing score and become certified.
PADONA hopes you will join us for this exciting and very relevant educational opportunity in September!
The Leadership Development Course with 4 full days of education and 25 Nursing Continuing Professional development contact hours and 25 administrator credit hours is being provided for $700. This is ONLY $28 per contact/credit hour!
Education Sessions Include:
- Infection prevention and the role of the infection preventionist
- Nursing department budget management
- Restorative Nursing Program overview and management
- What to expect from your pharmacy vendor and consultant pharmacist

These education sessions are presented live and not previously recorded. There is the opportunity for learners to ask questions of the presenter at the time of the session.
Early bird discount if registered and paid by August 31 is $650 for members only (regular $700).
Each session of the course is recorded and will be available (without contact/credit hours) for purchase on the PADONA website as individual sessions, full day bundles and a full course bundle.
Upon completion of the full course, attendees who have met the criteria for certification are eligible to take the CNDLTC certification exam. The certification exam is available online. There is no additional cost for the exam. It is included in the course registration fee for one exam attempt. However, if more than one exam attempt is required to achieve a passing score (80% or greater) for certification, an additional $100 fee will be charged for each attempt. Certification exams must be completed within 90 days of completion of the Leadership Development Course.
The Leadership Development Course is also an opportunity for current and seasoned nurse leaders to refresh themselves on the current standards of practice update knowledge their base. There is much in the course that applies to nursing home administrators as well, so we do recommend the course to nursing home administrators since the nursing department is the largest department in the facility and the department that is operational 24/7.
The 2022 PADONA Leadership Development Course will be provided virtually and will provide Nursing Continuing Professional Development contact hours as well as administrator NHA credit hours though NAB.

Improving Readiness: Candida auris Prevention and Control in the Long-Term Care Setting
Thursday, June 22, 2023
11:30am – 12:30pm
Learning outcomes:
- 95% of learners will have attended the full 60 minutes of the education.

Description:
Candida auris is a multidrug-resistant yeast that can cause invasive infection. Its ability to colonize patients asymptomatically and persist on surfaces has contributed to C. auris outbreaks in health care settings. Since the first C. auris case was identified in Pennsylvania in 2020, aggressive measures have been implemented to limit spread, including infection prevention and control assessment and colonization screening. C. auris is often detected among long-term care residents with chronic medical conditions; therefore, long-term care settings must improve their readiness to prevent and control this organism, especially as clinical and screening cases continue to rise.
As the result of the partnership between PADONA and the PA Department of Health Bureau of Epidemiology we are able to provide this webinar education at no cost.
Candida auris has been documented recently in literature as impacting both hospitals and nursing homes throughout the country. The headlines in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal and other publications say it all:
- “Candida Auris: The Fungus Nobody Wants to Talk About”
- “A Mysterious Infection, Spanning the Globe in a Climate of Secrecy”
- “The Last of Us: Fungal infections really can kill – and they’re getting more dangerous”
