Discover Diedre’s career journey in nursing leadership at Northwell Health

Meet Diedre Morrissey, who grew her career from staff nurse to nurse manager at Northwell Health’s Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJMC). Throughout her time at Northwell, Diedre has been grateful for the tools and experiences that have helped her grow her career.

Diedre began her career with us in 2016 as a staff registered nurse at LIJMC. In this role, she was responsible for coordinating collaborative care, performing assessments, forming nursing diagnoses and planning, implementing, and evaluating interventions. She assessed patients, administered prescribed treatments by physicians, and provided direct patient care and education for patients and their families. After two years in this role, Diedre’s experience led her to her next position as an assistant nurse manager for her medical-surgical unit while she also covered other medical-surgical units at LIJMC. As an assistant nurse manager, Diedre maintained clinical expertise and competencies to provide patient care, while she also managed staff, assisted with staff education and unit projects. During her time in this role, Diedre took part in Northwell’s tuition reimbursement program and in 2019 she earned her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a specialization in family nurse practitioner (FNP). One year after beginning her master’s degree program, Diedre started her current role as a nurse manager in patient care at LIJMC. Today, she is responsible for leading and supervising clinical staff, as well as overseeing hiring, onboarding, training, and performance evaluations for her team members to ensure excellence in patient care and team development.

Throughout her career, Diedre was surrounded by colleagues and other leaders who have always motivated, supported, and encouraged her personal and professional growth. “Northwell has made a world of difference in my career journey through access to leadership training, mentorship and tuition reimbursement programs,” said Diedre. One of the mentorship programs she recalls fondly was through Northwell’s Institute for Nursing. Diedre was a mentee while she was stepping into her role as a nurse manager and adjusting to this new role. She was paired with another nurse manager who contributed positively to Diedre’s development and helped her navigate the difference between leading and managing. She also offered Diedre advice that reminds her to see, hear and appreciate her team for all that they do. “I attribute a lot of my success to listening to the advice of my mentors, allowing them to lead and guide me in the right direction when I need it,” said Diedre. “Having consistent support from those who’ve had similar experiences made a huge impact on my career journey,” reflected Diedre.

Discover Chandni’s career journey in clinical laboratory science at Northwell Health

Meet Chandni Patel, who grew her career from intern to a blood bank laboratory operations manager at Plainview and Syosset hospitals. Throughout her time at Northwell, Chandni has been grateful for all the resources that helped her expand her knowledge and confidently progress in her career while receiving support and recognition from her peers and leaders. Today, as a blood bank laboratory operations manager, Chandni is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the blood banks at Plainview and Syosset hospitals, including patient blood management and quality assurance. She conducts quarterly transfusion committee meetings where transfusion practices, ordering practices and usage statistics are reviewed. Chandni also collaborates with other hospitals on transfusion surveillance and transfusion record audits.

Chandni began her career with us in 2009 as a student intern working among multiple Northwell sites, including the Northwell Health Imaging Center for Advanced Medicine, Glen Cove Hospital, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and North Shore University Hospital (NSUH). The success she found by interning with Northwell, while furthering her education, led her to her next role in 2010 as a lab technologist at South Shore University Hospital. In this position, Chandni performed tests, such as antibody screenings and antibody identification tests. She was also responsible for receiving and maintaining blood inventory and issuing blood products (such as platelets, plasma and more). The following year, Chandni began her role as a blood bank technologist at NSUH, where she was responsible for performing tests, such as antibody titer and cord blood testing, performing quality control, instrument maintenance and more. After six years in this role, she began working as a blood bank supervisor at Long Island Jewish Valley Stream Hospital (LIJVS), where she supervised blood bank staff, performed instrument validation, monitored blood and regent supply, and reviewed daily/monthly quality control. In 2019, Chandni advanced in her role as a blood bank lab operations manager at LIJVS.

Today, Chandni holds the same title while working at both Plainview and Syosset hospitals since 2022. She was able to advance as a leader with the knowledge gained in her past experiences and development programs, including the L-lead program and the high-potential program. The L-Lead program is a leadership certificate designed to help lab leaders improve their skills in quality, operations and more. The high-potential program at Long Island Jewish Valley Stream helps leaders build their abilities through professional development. Chandi shared, “The many learning and growth opportunities provided at Northwell Health helped me achieve success. I also benefitted from constructive feedback, recognition and support from my team and senior colleagues.” Chandni also partook in Northwell’s tuition reimbursement program, graduating with a master’s degree in clinical lab management specializing in blood bank technology in 2018. Chandni enjoys training new employees and working with students in her current role. She also loves that she can work with her dedicated team to provide quality care to patients. “A clinical laboratory career can be very rewarding and Northwell provides many opportunities to grow and explore different specialties, including blood bank, microbiology, histology and more.”

Discover Shandel’s Career Journey in Cardiac Services at Northwell Health

Meet Shandel Marcel, who grew her career from an emergency room registrar to a supervisor of monitor technicians at Lenox Hill Hospital (LHH). Throughout her time at Northwell, Shandel has been grateful for all the tools and advice she’s received in helping her advance her career. Today, as a supervisor of monitor technicians at Northwell’s Lenox Hill Hospital, Shandel’s responsibilities include managing scheduling, task assignments and responding quickly to patient and staffing needs. She also liaises between monitor technicians and other departments, ensuring a positive work environment.

Shandel began her career with Northwell in 1997 as an emergency room registrar at LHH. In this role, Shandel registers walk-in and bedside patients by collecting, verifying and updating their personal information, confirming insurance details and more. This led to her role as a pre-admission registrar at the same site in 2000, where Shandel gathered and verified new patient information, coordinated with medical and administrative staff, and responded to patient inquiries.  With the unwavering support from her leadership team, Shandel transitioned into cardiac services in 2001 as a financial counselor at LHH, handling patient insurance communication and collecting copays and signatures. She explored various roles within cardiac services, eventually discovering her passion for monitor technology. To complete the necessary certifications for this position, Shandel was part of a training program hosted by LHH. In this program, she was trained on heart rhythm interpretations, measurements, and the anatomy of the heart. After completing the course where she earned the necessary certifications, including her BLS, she became a monitor technician in 2008, where she observed heart rhythms, documented changes, and alerted nurses to any abnormalities.

Since 2021, Shandel has worked at LHH as a supervisor of monitor technicians. She was able to advance into this leadership role due to the knowledge gained from her past experiences and the many development programs at Northwell, including Leadership Essentials and mentorship opportunities. She shared, “Thanks to Northwell’s support of my career advancement, I am able to gain knowledge and build skills that make me stronger in my role.” Though there are many things Shandel loves about Northwell, she especially loves that she is always surrounded by supportive individuals who share her mission of providing elite patient care. Shandel offers advice for those looking to get their start with our team, “When starting a new career, be open to new experiences, ask a lot of questions and be open-minded so you can learn from your colleagues.”

Meet Monique, Clinical Professional Development Educator, Connector and Health Raiser

Today, Monique Robinson is a clinical professional development educator at Northwell Health’s Institute for Nursing (IFN), but she held many nursing roles during her career—from a quality management registered nurse to a registered nurse case manager. What has remained the same is her passion for nursing and love of teaching others about quality patient care.

In her current role, Monique works with a team of nurse educators to prepare, onboard and teach Northwell Health team members, including overseeing orientations for in-patient care, patient support, and skills training.

Before Northwell, Monique was working in New York City and struggling to find work-life balance. She yearned to find work closer to home on Long Island so she could spend more time with her children while pursuing the next chapter in her nursing career. Monique started with Northwell Health in 2010 at Long Island Jewish Valley Stream (LIJVS) as a utilization management/quality management coordinator in critical care. In this role, she was able to leverage her background as a registered nurse to identify performance improvement opportunities through data analysis, develop performance improvement plans and implement them while also evaluating improvement effectiveness. She was most attracted to our organization because of the variety of nursing opportunities available that matched her professional experience.

Expanding her career into behavioral health, she worked as a registered nurse case manager in a float position from 2013 to 2018, before moving into a new role as a registered nurse case manager in orthopedics at LIJVS in 2018. Working for Northwell as a registered nurse case manager, Monique was able to practice across different clinical specialties. In this role, Monique acted as a link between her patient and their physician. She also worked to monitor, plan and evaluate the quality of care from admission to discharge. “It evolved my nursing practice through the ability to critically assess the patients’ needs and collaborate with members of the multidisciplinary care team,” said Monique, reflecting upon her time as a registered nurse case manager.

Throughout her career at Northwell, Monique is grateful for a work/life balance. Being closer to home has ensured she could be there for all of her children’s major milestones. With the help of Northwell’s tuition reimbursement program, Monique received financial support to go back to school and earn her master’s degree in nursing education from SUNY Stony Brook University in 2022. This led Monique to her current role as a clinical professional development educator, which she began in November 2023.

Monique is proud to work with such a collaborative team. She loves that she can hone her skills and learn new ones by working within different clinical specialties due to her supportive team. In discussing the evolution of her career at Northwell, Monique shared, “My clinical experience as a critical care and community health nurse allows me to confidently work for Northwell Health, knowing I align with their mission and values for providing excellent nursing care.”

At Northwell, our nursing team demonstrates their commitment to care by incorporating innovative thinking into their practice and consistently delivering excellence that elevates the healthcare experience.

Meet Ashley, Paramedic, Caregiver and Health Raiser 

Ashley Vargas joined Northwell Health and began her professional career in 2021 as an EMT at the Center for Emergency Medical Services in New Hyde Park, NY, and two years later in 2023 became a paramedic at the same location.

Today, as a community paramedic, Ashley works directly with physicians to treat patients who choose care at home instead of in the emergency department. By communicating ailments and any changes in the patient’s condition with physicians, Ashley can provide care at home.

This form of community paramedicine is offered to patients in Northwell’s House Calls program. Ashley reduces the strain placed on ambulances and emergency departments by addressing healthcare needs in the comfort of patients’ homes. For example, if there is an urgent change in a patient’s condition, such as COVID-19 or the flu, Ashley is able to treat the patient in their homes. However, there are times when patients may require diagnostic testing with advanced equipment, and we will communicate with the patient, their family, and a physician, on a decision on whether or not to be transported to the hospital.

“My position as a paramedic can be very rewarding. I find joy in delivering proactive healthcare. This role gives me the opportunity to build trust and enduring bonds with my patients, gaining deeper insights into their unique requirements. I can make a meaningful impact in our community,” said Ashley.

Ashley believes Northwell set her up for success from the beginning by offering a comprehensive training program, covering emergency scenarios and how to use the latest equipment. Ashley was first attracted to Northwell since the organization has the largest hospital-based ambulance service in the region. With Northwell’s reputation of excellence, patient-centered approach and collaborative culture, Ashley knew the health system was the ideal place for her to contribute to a team while pursuing her career goals.

Proud of the work she does for Northwell, Ashley is a passionate team member who is glad she became a paramedic and was able to join a company like Northwell that supports her personal career growth and goals. When she first transitioned from her role as EMT to her role as paramedic, Ashley’s team, especially her team leader was very supportive and made sure she was prepared for this change and had access to all the resources she could need.

As a paramedic, Ashley is required to have a current paramedic certification in New York State, plus specialized certifications as needed. Whereas she previously needed a current Emergency Medical Technician certificate in New York state to practice as an EMT. Northwell supported Ashley through this process, and she was able to successfully grow in her career and meet her career goals.

In addition, EMTs operate an ambulance and transport their patients to their destination, with the patient’s safety as their top priority. Whereas paramedics conduct medical evaluations and provide care to patients before they are transported to the hospital. They also maintain equipment and make sure patients are transported in a safe manner.

“I have always taken advantage of each opportunity to grow. My team leader has been helpful in navigating me toward the right direction in my career,” said Ashley.

Another way Ashley has developed in her career at Northwell is by participating in some of the monthly employee workshops. These workshops included the Employee and Family Assistance Program, which provides information on Northwell’s free counseling program. This led Ashley to join a stress management workshop and learn how to recognize and manage the stressors in her life.

When asked if she could offer any advice to those looking to start a career in emergency medical services, Ashley encourages anyone starting their career to prioritize their patients’ well-being along with their own health. She also stresses seeking opportunities for improvement and learning from past experiences.

Northwell Health funds ideas from its team members through our annual Innovation Challenge competition

At Northwell Health, we aim to create an environment that inspires growth, empowers leadership and promotes innovative breakthroughs. Since officially launching our Innovation Challenge competition six years ago, hundreds of Northwell team members have been encouraged to submit new ideas that could help improve and transform the future of healthcare. To date, Northwell has awarded funding for 13 projects to advance the progress and development of these innovative ideas within our own health system.

While often behind-the-scenes, the world of clinical and non-clinical healthcare research houses some of the most brilliant minds: transformational thinkers who envision the bigger picture of improved health for all. We believe awarding this type of research is vital to the success of our organization and professional development of our team members.

This year’s Innovation Challenge awarded two winning projects, iNav: AI-Driven identification and navigation for cancer patients, and StrokeFighter: Novel bioelectronic therapy for acute ischemic stroke. Each project could receive up to $500,000 in funding for research and development to advance innovations in care delivery and science.

“The Innovation Challenge is an incredible force multiplier for the health system, where every employee has the opportunity to present solutions and be heard by decision-makers,” said Tiffany Zavadsky, nurse practitioner and manager at the Northwell Health Cancer Institute, who also is part of the iNav project team. “I have spent my career caring for patients and running a practice focused on high quality, health-based outcomes. This challenge helps advance healthcare delivery that benefits all from providers and patients to the global healthcare community.”

Investing in the ideas of our team members through programs like our Innovation Challenge, helps us raise the standard of care for our employees and enforces a culture of innovation, teamwork and continuous change.
