Beyond the Identity: The Limitless Nurse

In this episode, Emily and I talk about being efficient with tasks and effective with people and the tension that can sometimes create in our current structures. She shares her story of discovering that she may not fit the "typical mold" of a leader and how her former strategies of working harder and blaming herself were not serving her or those she wanted to serve. Emily shares how she has learned to value herself and how that has impacted her success. We talk about the need for diversity of perspective and that to continue to innovate we need to break the mold! I cannot wait for you to hear Emily's very inspiring story!

If you have a perspective you would like to share I would love to connect with you!

In this week’s solo episode I share my thoughts on why, I believe, as a healthcare system we should invest more in truly demonstrating we care for our people and learn to find the ROI on supporting our teams. We need to not expect our leaders to do this in addition to but rather change how they do thier work. Lets connect on instagram @amcdougal84 or via email [email protected]

I had a great conversation with Aaron Skiles a Nurse pracitioner in my homestate of New Mexico. We talk about the growing provider shortage, the difficulties with our current payor model particularly in primary care. I hear about the joy that Aaron finds in being a part of his patients story and Aarons perspective in how some of the burden on the EMR and other administrative tasks may add long term value in improving population health!
