We don’t often take the time to think about our personal and professional growth. I personally believe that every step I’ve taken professionally has led me to where I am and afforded me this privilege of telling my story. But – 800 words are not enough for a talker like myself, so I’ll skip ahead to 2014.
Around that time, I knew there was a more efficient way for us to work as a part of the care team. I googled for “nurse navigator” and stumbled across AONN+; I realized I had found my people! After some research, I asked (read: begged) to attend a conference. I was turned down.
I was just a young nurse trying to have my voice heard.
