The intensive three-week management education program is held at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

The program recognizes the influential role nurse executives have in strategic planning within their own health care institutions and in shaping health care policy issues regionally, nationally and globally. During the program’s executive forum, nurse executives collaborate with their health care institutions’ chief executive officers to analyze the role of nursing in hospital management and strategic planning.

Jones was one of 33 senior nurse executives from Australia, Canada, Japan and the United States selected to participate in the program.
