In my experience, embracing opportunities for leadership is essential to advance your career. One of the best ways to do this is becoming the chair of your unit practice council. Here, you will guide your fellow nurses on designing and implementing a project at the microsystem level. Through this experience, you will be able to demonstrate leadership qualities to not only your peers but leaders as well.

So you’re considering leadership! Here’s two additional items to consider: Nurses have a developed (for some - innate) ability to identify what’s wrong.. this is likely due to the high touch nature of our profession. Take it to the next level & recommend solutions for identified problems. Consider cost, workflow, outcomes, evidence-based approaches, collaboration with peers.. but when noting a problem bring 2 or 3 solutions. This demonstrates your ability to collaborate, lead, & solve relevant challenges, while creating ease for your colleagues. Also Know your EQ & Bias. To lead a diverse group requires a sense of self awareness. If you are unwilling to unlearn and/or learn (and then do the work!!!)-stick to non leader roles 🤷🏾♂️😆

Career planning is essential for elevating your nursing career to higher positions. Start by defining clear short-term and long-term goals and developing a strategic plan to achieve them. Proactively seek opportunities for advancement within your current organization or explore options in other healthcare settings. Regularly update your resume to reflect your latest achievements, skills, and certifications. By being intentional and proactive in your career planning, you can create a clear pathway to progress in your nursing profession and reach higher-level roles.
