In this episode we're joined by Michelle Novominski. Michelle Novominski is a registered nurse at Lenox Hill Hospital, where she cares for patients on the cardiovascular telemetry unit and serves in a leadership role on her unit’s Night Collaborative Care Council. She is a summa cum laude graduate of Pace University and a recipient of the American Nurses Association’s Future Nurse Leader Award. Michelle brings a broad clinical background from her student nursing experience in emergency and intensive care, and the pre-hospital setting as an EMT. Beyond the bedside, she has maintained a continued involvement in leadership, research, and mentorship, having served in executive roles with the National Student Nurses Association and currently as Vice President of Sigma Theta Tau’s Omega Delta Chapter. Known for her compassion, grit, and curiosity, Michelle is passionate about advancing nursing practice and lifting others up and paying forward the support that made her own growth possible.
