About Healthcare Disrupted: Bold Leadership for a New Era
Healthcare is at a breaking point, and a breakthrough is long overdue. “Healthcare Disrupted” brings trailblazing clinical leaders together to discuss what’s next. Hosted by Amy Wilson, DNP, RN, CPHQ, and sitting Chief Nurse Executive at SSM Health, this show dives into real conversations most are too afraid to have – about the future of our profession, the challenges eroding the system, and the bold leadership required to rebuild it. If you are ready to challenge the status quo, elevate your leadership, and help redefine the future of healthcare, hit play. The disruption is already underway. The question is: will you lead it?
A mother and daughter both became nurses. One was told to “pay your dues, don’t complain, and earn your place.” The other was told, “Set boundaries, protect your mental health, and don’t settle.” Who’s right, or are we finally admitting nursing was never meant to be lived one way? In this episode of Healthcare Disrupted, we explore how two generations experience the same profession, what's changed, what hasn't, and how we can bridge that gap in ways that strengthen our nursing teams.
