A Nurse Leader’s Guide to Elevating Your Career !
Hi, I’m Jim Blankenship RN, BSN, BHA. I’ve spent over 24 years in nursing—working everywhere from Critical Care and Emergency departments to leadership roles as a Charge Nurse, House Supervisor, Manager, and Senior Director. I know exactly how challenging it can be to step into leadership—because I’ve been there!
That’s why I wrote Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way!—a book designed to give every nurse the leadership skills nursing school didn’t teach you but that your career depends on.
What You’ll Learn Inside
How to lead with confidence and earn respect from your team
Tools to manage conflict, inspire others, and drive results
Strategies to balance patient care with leadership responsibilities
Career-accelerating lessons that will set you apart as a true leader!
This isn’t theory—it’s the exact knowledge and strategies I used to move from the bedside to executive leadership.
Why This Matters for You
If you’re stepping into management, or if you dream of advancing into leadership, you don’t have time to waste “figuring it out as you go.” This book gives you the roadmap I wish I had early in my career. It will shorten your learning curve, build your confidence, and help you rise faster in your career.
