Keynote Address: Healthcare Leaders Aren’t Born, They’re Made

David Taylor, MSN, RN, CNOR, Director, CVOR, Methodist Hospital

Nursing school did not prepare you to lead at the highest levels, but that is exactly what’s required to keep up with the demands of health care as well as advancing your career as a health care leader. This presentation will help ignite the most important personal leadership qualities of today’s nurse leaders so that surgeons and staff alike will view you as the “Most Valuable Player.”

Understanding barriers to leadership will help attendees understand economic and strategic considerations as they relate to their clinical environment.
