Leadership and advocacy mean getting out of your comfort zone for most CRNAs, and today’s guest is tapped into what it takes to step into roles beyond the confines of the medical field. Jana Bailey, APRN, CRNA joins us to discuss how nurses and CRNAs can make significant strides in broadening the scope and impact of nursing by serving on various nonprofit, corporate, government and advisory boards. Jana will talk about why it's vital for us to reach out beyond these traditional roles and share ways to start getting involved.
Jana has been involved in numerous boards in her home state of Kentucky and beyond. We’ll tap into this experience to help provide practical steps for healthcare professionals interested in expanding their professional influence through board service. Jana discusses the importance of finding a board that aligns with your passions and values, as well as the need for continuous professional development to gain the necessary skills for effective board participation.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- Why the Nurses on Boards Coalition began 10 years ago.
- The who, what, and where for her project.
- How does "Nurses on Boards" expand CRNA influence?
- CRNAs who serve on boards should register with NOBC to have their service counted, and those interested in serving should register to get email updates for board position postings.
- Tips for how to get more involved in different opportunities near you.
