LORETTA MOSHER has achieved nurse-executive status at Little Falls Hospital (part of Bassett Healthcare Network) after receiving her master’s degree in nursing. Bassett notes that nurse executives are responsible for performing leadership roles in the nursing field and promoting creativity within nursing teams. Additionally, they demonstrate financial responsibility and provide employees with continuing-education opportunities. Nurse executives design and manage patient-care plans and cultivate networks for quality care and wellness. To become a nurse executive, individuals must earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing followed by a master’s. The master’s program generally takes two years to complete. Mosher received her master’s at Chamberlain University’s College of Nursing based in Chicago, Illinois. She started work at Little Falls Hospital (LFH) in 2006. From 2006 to 2014, she worked in LFH’s emergency department then transitioned to Quality Resources until 2017. From 2017 to now, Mosher has worked in nursing education, most recently accepting a position as Bassett Healthcare Network’s regional nurse manager of education in December 2020.
