Patient Advocacy
<p>Discover how Lori Schellenberg turned her retirement into a second career as a patient advocate, proving it's never too late to pivot and find your purpose. </p><p>In this Nursing Now podcast episode, Laurie shares her inspiring journey from retired nurse to entrepreneur, creating a thriving career that supports patients and empowers nurses to explore new opportunities beyond the bedside. </p><br><p>🔹 Highlights from this episode:</p><p>- Transitioning nurse to independent patient advocate </p><p>- Insights into patient advocacy and how it differs from traditional case management </p><p>- Tips for navigating career changes and starting your own business </p><br><p>Lori is reinventing what it means to be a retired nurse!</p><br><p>🔗 Follow Us for More:</p><ul><li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/janelle-mcswiggin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Janelle McSwiggin</a></li><li>Instagram: @Nursing.now_</li><li>TikTok: Nursing_now</li><li>Website:<a href="https://willowbarkwriting.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> willowbarkwriting.com</a></li><li>Youtube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/@nursing_now" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.youtube.com/@nursing_now</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Lori’s story shows how seizing opportunities can reshape a career. Her journey began at the bedside, but curiosity led her to a home health role, where she enjoyed new freedom. When a manufacturing plant offered her a temporary role as an occupational health nurse, Lori hesitated—then took the leap. That decision opened doors she never imagined, giving her experience in worker’s compensation, OSHA regulations, and health program development.</p><br><p>As Lori moved from one role to another, she discovered how transferable her nursing skills were. She brought clinical insight into business roles, mentoring new case managers, marketing programs, and helping companies grow. Every pivot added new layers to her career, teaching her that uncertainty wasn’t a barrier—it was a chance to evolve.</p><br><p>Building partnerships became essential. When an orthopedic surgeon needed help managing worker’s compensation cases, Lori guided him and even helped him launch an Independent Medical Exam business. These collaborations showed her that no journey is taken alone; shared goals and trust fuel success.</p><br><p>Later, retirement seemed like the next chapter, but it left Lori searching for purpose. A friend’s suggestion to explore patient advocacy reignited her passion. Lori immersed herself in learning, joining professional groups and building a vision: she could use her expertise not just to help patients but to mentor nurses looking to pivot away from the bedside.</p><br><p>Launching <a href="www.steppingstoneadvocacy.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stepping Stone Advocacy Services</a> became her way of giving back. Through her advocacy, Lori supports patients navigating the healthcare system while mentoring nurses seeking new paths. Her story—marked by resilience, collaboration, and constant reinvention—proves it’s never too late to embrace change and take control of your career.</p><br><p>🔗 Follow Lori for More:</p><ul><li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/janelle-mcswiggin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a>https://www.facebook.com/lori.schellenberg</li><li>Facebook: http://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-schellenberg-a2b29118b </li><li>Instagram: @lorischellenberg27</li><li>Website:<a href="https://willowbarkwriting.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.steppingstoneadvocacy.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.steppingstoneadvocacy.com</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
