Episode 21: Navigating Healthcare Pathways
Is a career or job in healthcare right for me? What are the steps I can take, to get there? What are skills a nurse uses and what are the options for specialized careers in the nursing field?
Join Savannah and co-host PS Facilitator Alana as they connect with Katie Hodgden (Assistant Director, Career Development Center at Minnesota State University, Mankato) and Dr. Michelle Palmborg (Assistant Professor of Nursing and Registered Oncology Nurse) to talk through how you can begin thinking about and planning for a possible future in healthcare, and what could that specifically look like in a pathway like nursing. Join us as we break down what types of nurses there are, what is the schooling required, and what to do if you change your mind.
