Today’s guest is Joni Spring, the Director of Outpatient Nursing and Clinic Operations for Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is a large academic medical center, and Joni’s responsibilities include all of the outpatient nursing operations.

Joni has had over 30 years of experience as nurse, most of that time as a nurse leader and nurse executive. In this podcast we talk about Joni’s passion for nursing, a field she always knew was going to be her life’s work from the time she was a small child.

I really enjoyed talking with Joni because she is clearly an authentic leader. She is quite candid in the interview about her many successes as well as some of her most difficult failures. Her story is well worth listening to. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This is the abridged version of my interview with Joni. I had a really tough time cutting from the full length version because she shares so much interesting insight both into being a nurse and a healthcare executive. If you have the time, I would recommend listening to the full length version.
