I chose to interview a former Director of Nursing of Fayette Medical Center, Ms. Rebekah Logan, MSN, RN. I feel I was lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her, learn from her, and experience her leadership style. Ms. Logan now serves as Chief Nursing Officer at a hospital in North Alabama. She earned her Associate in Science in Nursing in Phil Campbell, Alabama; her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Clayton State College in Morrow, Georgia; and a Masters of Science in Nursing Administration from Georgia College in Milledgeville, Georgia. She has served in executive hospital leadership roles as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Nursing Officer for the past 18 years with Tenet Healthcare, Lifepoint Hospitals.

After graduation, I committed myself to learning new things and more importantly to try things that intimidated and frightened me. While doing so, I searched for and found a way to make a change in the lives of those who needed help the most. I became a career advisor for one of Washington D.C’s largest workforce development projects. I was tasked with the responsibility of teaching DC’s welfare population the essential skills needed to progress in life, and succeed in the workforce. Having overcame being a learning disabled student, and traumatic brain injury I was

Paula, it is astounding that Mr. McDonald, at his level, has the ability to make an impact at the bedside. It is essential that leaders’ exhibit competencies in ensuring systems are in place to monitor and maintain quality patient care. In addition, it is imperative that the principles of the leader are such that they inspire a shared vision and a commitment to excellence. Furthermore, the behaviors, theories, and techniques a person exhibits define their success as a leader to a higher degree than their power position (Billiam & Siriwardena, 2013). Clearly, Mr. McDonald is a transformational leader who inspired the emergency department (ED) manager to resolve the overcrowding and wait time issue that is

As four shiny staples were secured into my forehead after my suspicion of a concussion was confirmed by a medical professional, I felt as if I had hit rock bottom rather than the sharp edge of a fireplace mantel. I was certainly apprehensive about my ability to recuperate from this fall amidst the chaos of junior year, as a I found that I was unable to neatly fit a traumatic brain injury into my color coordinated planner. Yet, I was well aware that this was far from the last unexpected setback I would face. Despite the inconvenience of this injury, it pushed me to be driven by curiosity rather than fear of error by making the inevitability of failure profoundly apparent. By acknowledging the meaningful opportunities for growth that setbacks provide, my inclination to try new things has intensified and allowed me to develop a newfound freedom to explore the realm around me. In turn, my coordination, or lack thereof, has given me a unique type of confidence that pushes me to fearlessly take risks in order to pursue my goals. For instance, I plan to enter the male dominated field of finance. The statistics that provide evidence of the sizable pay gap between men and women in this profession is just one challenge I am prepared to face beyond high

In 2012, 48-year old Brenda Walker, a business consultant and office manager in Tennessee made one of the biggest decisions of her life. She went back to school to complete her post-graduate degree in health care administration. Brenda explained,

As the new CEO, you have learned that the hospital’s employee turnover rate exceeds 20%, and there are over 100 nursing vacancies. You have also learned the

This advice makes young adults believe that they only can choose a career based on what they love to do, which is not the case in reality. Dr. Marino appeals to authority, uses anecdotes,

I can say that I actually have some interest in this subject. Experiences based on racial and ethnic stereotypes clearly can be salient and central to adolescent development (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). I think it would be a good idea to educate the youth in a positive and well thought out way. If it is done in an educational setting it may allow for the teacher to produce healthy and meaningful conversations. It may also increase awareness and sensitivity to other races and cultures. I would hope it would create an understanding that would release any tension and reduce stereotypical behavior. I believe that at this stage of development it would be important for the youth to know that they can be proud of their heritage without

Noah Reilly is a dedicated student who has engaged in diverse experiences before and during his tenure at Western University of Health Sciences where he matriculated in 2012. After graduating from Arizona State University in 2010 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology and Bacteriology. Noah worked as a Lab Assistant at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where he assisted in molecular research on toxins of Aspergillus fumigatus. This opportunity gave Noah an opportunity to learn to work well in a team environment, hone his skills as a researcher, and apply his dedication to science. He then went on to join the emergency department of Memorial Hermann hospital as a scribe. This position allowed him to sharpen his problem solving skills, advance his documentation and organizational abilities, and participate in numerous patient encounters.

Achiever is my number one leadership strength (Rath, 2007). I worried that my lack of knowledge would prevent me from being successful and that the organization would suffer due to my inadequacies. The emergency department and AirMed have significant financial implications for the organization; these departments are dynamic and complicated. I also worried that my professional reputation, which I had worked hard to build, would be damaged if my leadership proved to be inadequate. Fortunately, I did not allow this fear to overwhelm me and thereby, limit my ability to progress professionally. I found by being open and humble about my lack of knowledge, while also sharing my enthusiasm to learn that the teams in the emergency department and AirMed were willing to teach me and despite my inexperience, they still looked to me as their leader. By allowing myself to be vulnerable and humble I was able to lessen the hierarchical feeling of my leadership position (Ito, 2016). The teams knew right off that I did not have all of the answers. Leaders need to be resilient in order to manage the ambiguity and risk associated with change, they need to act with determination, confidence and enthusiasm and avoid self-doubt and hesitation, if they are to inspire those around them (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2015). I found that several of the emergency room nurses and flight nurses were former SICU nurses that knew me well. This familiarity with members of the team lessened my apprehension and helped me to bond quickly with the teams. Successful leaders need to be adept at finding needed information and at building relationships (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2015). I did not possess the knowledge so I started with building relationships. I have been the clinical operations director for over four years now and I am pleased to say that my

Lastly, in the category of content I received excellent from Reynaldo and Blas and acceptable from Gilbert.
