19 AUGUST 2024ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AT COREWELL HEALTHAs the director of nursing at Corewell, I oversee various emergency departments at the Farmington Hills and the Lavonia outpatient campuses. In addition, I also have oversight for our five north medical-surgical units, the nursing resource pool, and the hemodialysis unit.Every day is different for me at Corewell, specifically because the process of providing patient care changes with every patient. We have many of them come to our facility with different concerns, as no patient is the same. The job entails numerous responsibilities, including leading projects, collaborating with other departments, ensuring patient care standards are met, and ensuring compliance with regulatory agencies. I also pay attention to improving the patient care experience and serve as a representative of Corewell on different administrative boards. THE JOURNEY THAT YOU'VE HAD SO FARI started my career as a paramedic in the Emergency Medical Services division of the Detroit Fire Department, and after working for over a decade there, I moved to nursing. I joined Corewell over five years ago, and it has been an extensive learning experience. I have worked in partnership with different departments, inclusive of areas outside nursing, which is incredibly gratifying. Refusing to say no to opportunities has made me a better leader.MAJOR CHALLENGES IN THE FIELD OF NURSINGThe shortage of qualified professionals, specifically in the medical-surgical area, is a major challenge.
