OCU’s Kramer School of Nursing and the Oklahoma Nurses Association will host “Sustainable Cultures: The Nurse Leader’s Role,” June 9. The featured speaker will be Cole Edmonson. Along with Edmonson, Dr. June Marshall and Gail Maxwell will be leading discussions on topics such as nurse manager engagement and leadership values.
