Level Up: The Path to Leadership

  • Summary

  • This week on Code Brew, Jo King sits down with the one and only Dee Cision to talk all things nursing leadership. From surviving imposter syndrome to mastering policy and everything in between, this episode explores how nurses can grow beyond the bedside and level up into roles that shape the future of healthcare. Dee shares her journey from floor nurse to Director of Clinical Support Services—and drops some serious wisdom along the way. Whether you’re a new grad or a seasoned nurse wondering what’s next, this episode is packed with insight, encouragement, and a dash of chaos (including a story about a feral cat in the wall… yeah, you read that right).

    💡 Big Takeaways:
    • Leadership isn’t a title—it’s influence, integrity, and how you show up.

    • Mentorship matters. Find someone who inspires you and keep learning.

    • Leaving the bedside is a big move, but it doesn’t mean leaving nursing behind.

    • Assume positive intent… but don’t let someone else’s fire drill become your emergency.

    • The emotional weight of leadership is real—but so is the joy of seeing your team thrive.

    • You can lead from wherever you are. Start building your toolkit now.

    🔥 Sound Bites:
    • “Leadership is influence.”

    • “Assume positive intent.”

    • “Happy staff, happy patients.”
