Bedside to Boardroom: Emily Olson's Healthcare Journey
from No Operating Manual · host Erin O'Brien
Emily Olson talks about how she went from bedside nursing to working inside early-stage healthcare startups, and what surprised her most along the way. She shares what it’s actually like to move from large health systems into environments where there’s no playbook, how she’s built care models for people with complex needs, and where technology genuinely helps (and where it doesn’t). Emily also offers practical advice for nurses thinking about a startup role, including what to know going in and how to decide if that kind of uncertainty is right for you.
