天生就是领导者

莫林主教

“老实说,谢恩是我46年职业生涯中遇到的最强大的领导者之一,莫林·毕晓普说, MSN, RN, CCRN, ccn, a clinical nurse specialist at Corewell who’s known Taylor for more than a decade. 在她看来, 泰勒的领导, 加上她的职业道德, make her a professional force to be reckoned with.

“She is an advocate for not only her team members but the organization,” she adds. “I would describe [her] as a visionary, 一个仆人, democratic and a transformation leader rolled into one!”

“I loved mentoring and teaching new clinicians,泰勒说。. “As I gained confidence in my clinical role, my interest grew to impact practice and positive change in my workplace.”

Taylor began teaching at her local community college, 这满足了她的教育欲望, but she also began looking to remediate her own skill gaps. “(我的朋友和我)意识到,医疗保健的商业方面并不是你在临床重点学位上所学到的东西,泰勒说。.

So, 泰勒和她的朋友研究了MBA推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜,并进入了推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜(University of Phoenix),学习许多医疗专业人士没有学习的东西:如何像商人一样思考.

The program not only opened up a different style of thinking to Taylor, but it also offered new networking opportunities.

新的举动,新的程度

泰勒的一切都很顺利. 她在佛罗里达州一家儿童医院负责几个部门的工作,并从面向病人的领导工作转向临床教育工作. Her MBA complemented this real-world experience.

“我的MBA帮助我从新手成长为具备商业头脑的领导能力专家,泰勒说。. “I became a mentor for some of my colleagues in this competency.”

然而,在2013年,情况发生了变化. Taylor and her husband moved to Michigan for family reasons. 她加入了Corewell团队,在多个科室的临床教育中担任领导角色.

在她适应了自己的角色之后, she began to wonder if earning her doctorate might be a good next step. It had been more than a decade since she’d completed her master’s degree, her children were in high school and semi-independent, and she’d just seen her senior leader complete her Doctor of 护理 Practice.

“It was a dream of mine,泰勒说。 of the doctoral program.

她报名参加了 卫生行政博士 program 并获得了考威尔大学颁发的部分领导力奖学金,以帮助她实现这一目标. At that point, nothing was going to stop her. 不工作. 不是家庭. 甚至不是COVID.

COVID-19因素

At first, Taylor seemed to have the doctoral program well in hand. Corewell为她提供经济援助,并支持她继续接受教育. “我的直接领导指导我,并为我留出时间从事重大项目和参加实习,泰勒说。.

此外,泰勒正在建立同样的联系,这使得她的硕士推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜如此有影响力. 在她的人脉中,有一位是加州的护理主任,还有一位是她经常联系的财务经理.

“与本行业内外的其他学生交流,让我在本地资源之外获得了洞察力和社区感,她指出.

当疫情的触角延伸到她的工作和生活中时,这一点尤其有价值. 作为一线员工, 泰勒每天都要去医院,根据对COVID-19不断变化的了解来调整政策和工作流程.

“I spent many weekends doing a lot of my [doctoral] work, because I spent the majority of my Monday through Friday trying 学习 COVID,她说。. “我只需要努力去做.”

The pandemic wasn’t the only threat to Taylor’s educational commitment. After writing the first three chapters of her dissertation, her chair left. 泰勒担心她会被迫休息一段时间去找另一把椅子,但是, 最后, the University connected her with a potential replacement. He read through her work and made 256 edits. 他说,如果泰勒能根据这些编辑更新她的作品,他就会聘用她.

但她完成这个项目的勇气, 学习, 作为一个人和专业人士的成长——这驱使泰勒投入大量时间,及时把文件转过来.

泰勒说:“他看到了我对自己工作的投入,(所以)他准备对我投入。.

“这是非常可怕的,但它最终是最好的事情,”她补充说,反思自己 从学生到毕业生的旅程
