Nurse educator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fortunate enough to be just an educator, there are some roles that are supervisor/ educator which is so conflicting. It’s union, and the focus is education.

Cons

The education department is decentralized and feels disjointed in efforts.

Business Outlook

Pros

autonomy, remote, benevolent mission, community building events

Cons

lack of self-awareness, market, and perspective among leadership that has been there a long time - too long, leadership self-interested and self-protective rather than helping their most promising direct reports to advance and better serve organization; lots of politics - important to stand up for yourself otherwise you'll just get ping-ponged around between large self-important personalities; tendency to reward rosy picture roles rather than those doing the most difficult work - should a highly regulated tax exempt safety net children's hospital really be paying so much for marketing and external affairs? don't just reward the obnoxious people or you'll lose the best people - who's doing the actual work navigating hurdles and preventing reputation damage
