Leading Beyond the Bedside

For Austin L. Crouthers, MSN'25, BSN, RN, and current Duke DNP candidate in the Executive Leadership track, leadership in healthcare begins with people. Across a career spanning radiology, critical care, trauma-focused operations, and now multi-site emergency services, Crouthers learned that the clinical setting may change, but the needs of high-performing teams remain constant. “People need the same things from their leaders: trust, support, and clarity,” he insisted.

For Ashley Batts, DNP, MSN’18, BSN, BS, WHNP-BC, nursing began as a search for more meaningful work. Before entering healthcare, she earned a bachelor’s degree in business marketing and worked in New York City’s fashion industry as a handbag buyer.

Janine Panker, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, CNE, described her path to nursing as “anything but linear.” Drawn to questions of human behavior and mental health, Panker began her academic career studying psychology.

During that time, Panker saw how nurses brought not only clinical skill, but also compassion, steadiness, and presence to patients and families in moments of profound vulnerability.

I graduated from Duke University School of Nursing's Doctor of Nursing Practice program in May 2016. At the time, I thought I was preparing for my next job, but in reality, Duke was preparing me for the next decade.

What I could not fully appreciate then was that the greatest challenge facing nursing would not be whether we had enough leaders, but whether we were willing to imagine leadership practice differently.

Populism: Panel Discussion and Q&A

The Duke History Union is pleased to present this topical session...

Populism is on the rise, in America and around the world. How? Why? And to what end?
