Quattrini is one of 22 nurse leaders nationwide selected to participate in the 2025 program.
Veronica "Ronnie" Quattrini, DNP, MS ’99, BSN ’85, FNP-BC, associate professor and senior director of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at the University of Maryland School of Nursing, has been selected to participate in the National League for Nursing 2025 LEAD program, a yearlong initiative of the National League for Nursing (NLN) Leadership Institute. Quattrini is one of 22 nurse leaders nationwide selected to participate in the 2025 program.
“I am excited to be part of the NLN LEAD program and eager to develop leadership strategies that will enhance nursing education and workforce development,” said Quattrini, who recently returned from the program’s two-day orientation session in Washington, D.C. “I look forward to advancing as a transformational leader, influencing nursing education, faculty development, and workforce sustainability.”
The program is designed for nurses in education and practice who have recently been challenged with rapid transition into leadership positions, those in leadership positions who desire a formal leadership program, and those aspiring to lead. It represents a significant investment in professional leadership development, with participants spending a year engaged in activities identifying personal and professional goals, learning about what makes an effective leader, and strategizing how to retool skill sets and experiences to achieve individual and institutional benchmarks.
