“My name is Bonnie Marko, and I am one of the LPN’s that participated in the Saskatchewan Institute of Health Leadership Program. I was granted a scholarship from SALPN, for the 2016-2107 program. I am very thankful and appreciative for this amazing and enlightening experience. This is an opportunity that I personally, think all healthcare providers should take part in. This has been an asset to my personal and professional life. The course includes an in-class retreat, an individual and group project.
Initially, I attended an in-class retreat at the First Nations University at the University of Regina campus. As a class, we participated in many activities, lessons and group discussions that targeted leadership and professional development. We also organized for our individual and group projects at this time.
Through the six-month course, I took part in a personal project. The individual assignment was ongoing and I completed an action plan to address a key issue I would face. It allowed me to address long term and short-term goals. Through this process it enabled me to step out of my comfort zone, and build my personal and professional relationships.
I also took part in a group project as part of the program. The purpose of the group project was to work collaboratively with other health care professionals on a challenge within the Saskatchewan health system. It also was required to develop leadership skills through transformative change. Through this process it enabled me to work with different personalities and strengthen my collaboration and communication skills. At the closing retreat, we presented this project to a series of Healthcare Professionals from various areas in Saskatchewan.
The SIHL program was definitely mandatory for my career as an LPN. I continue to utilize the tools that I have been given on a daily basis personally and professionally. After completing my leadership journey and developing my desired leadership style I feel more confident in my profession. The program has allowed me to advance and guide others within the healthcare field.”
