  The CNO Podcast with Robert Church | Episode 12

  Aug 14, 202644 min

  Sometimes the best careers are the ones you never planned for.When Rob Church graduated high school, he had no intention of becoming a nurse, let alone a Chief Nursing Officer. He thought he'd become a biology teacher and coach sports. But a summer job as a hospital transporter—and a mentor who saw potential in him that he didn't yet see in himself—changed everything.Today, Rob serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer of SBH Health System in the Bronx and is President of the New York Organization of Nurse Leaders. In this episode, he shares his journey from bedside critical care nurse to healthcare executive, the power of mentorship and networking, and how empowering nurses through shared governance has transformed both staff engagement and patient care.Join us as we discuss leadership, resilience, relationship-building, and why, as Rob says, 'there's no one path to becoming a CNO.'
