Jill Pollander on Non-Traditional Nursing Roles, Nurse Innovation, and Leadership

In this episode of Nursing Beyond the Bedside, we sit down with Jill Pollander, the Vice President of Patient Services at the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). Jill shares her remarkable journey from emergency room nursing to leadership in non-traditional nursing roles and nurse consulting.

 

Jill’s career took her from the fast-paced environment of the ER to long-term care, where she found her passion for pain management and palliative care. She then launched her own nurse consulting practice, collaborating with pharmaceutical companies and the Joint Commission. Today, as VP of Patient Services at NORD, Jill leads initiatives that provide financial assistance and essential resources to individuals living with rare diseases.
