Welcome to the Kentucky Organization of Nurse Leaders!

The Kentucky Organization of Nurse Leaders (KONL) is a non-profit organization and affiliate of the American Organization for Nursing Leadership that operates for charitable, scientific, and educational purposes.  The purpose of the organization is to advance the development of effective administrative leadership in nursing services, in sites where healthcare is delivered.

KONL provides educational programs for nurse leaders throughout the state, funds scholarships for members, shares scientific works between members and provides forums for discussion and networking through district and state level meetings. KONL is divided into four districts: Bluegrass, Cumberland, Ohio Valley and Twin Lakes. Districts are equally represented in statewide decisions, and forums are provided, at both the district and state level, for members to become involved and share their views.

Membership is open to all registered nurses in a leadership position and those who are aspiring nurse leaders in healthcare settings, academia, healthcare related businesses and elsewhere, including those nurses who are retired.  Associate membership is available for nursing students or industry partners and must be approved by the board.
