Kristy Martyn, PhD, RN, CPNP-PC, FAAN is a tenured professor in the School of Nursing and Associate Dean for Education, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Emory University. In this episode Kristy talks about her description of the term resilience and how it guides her actions; the importance of being people oriented, a good nice person, and a team player; and what it means to be an organizational champion. Kristy's words of wisdom include "have the confidence to pursue what you want to pursue. And in this case, with administration in academia, we have opportunity for influence that I think is appealing to many people. And go for it. Go for it." and "recognizing and appreciating the contributions of others that we work with and supporting that. And I guess that fits a lot of what I've already said in terms of openness to new ways, and actually enacting that kind of support as well has worked well for me."
