"I am excited to finally be a member; I have so much to learn as a new leader! My nursing career began at Rush University in the Rehabilitation Department, where I was a nursing assistant and staff nurse for about 8 years. I was then offered the interim position of Assistant Unit Director, and being new to the leadership world, was unsure if it was where I wanted my career to go. Having been exposed to IONL by colleagues who are members, I was inspired to continue my leadership role. A leader once told me 'Once you have a taste of leadership, you cannot go back'. It rings true to this day. I realize now more than ever how valuable an IONL membership is to a nursing leader and how it can help open so many more opportunities. I am now continuing my education in graduate school in a Clinical Nurse Leader program at Rush University."
