"Historically, did we take a great clinician and make them a nurse manager? Absolutely. But we've recognized that we've got to start developing ... them before they take that kind of responsibility." — Gay Landstrom, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE, senior vice president and chief nursing officer, Trinity Health

In this week's lead story, I spoke with Landstrom about her work with CNOs to prepare them to be part of their organization’s leadership team.
